Anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) film with nanopore arrays was prepared by one-step anodization of highly pure aluminum foil. Morphology, structure and photoluminescence property of AAO were characterized. Results showed that AAO owned honeycomb structure which was characterized by close-packed arrays of columnar hexagonal cells, each containing a central pore normal to the substrate. There were three peaks at around 370, 385 and 470 nm in the PL spectrum of AAO, which should be mainly attributed to the oxygen vacancies.

A new and facile method for improving the procedure of anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) film preparation was presented, which was based on an electrochemical detachment procedure. The detachment and pore-opening were performed just through one step in a solution of HClO4and C2H5OH at a voltage of 40V. The as-obtained AAO film was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and scanning probing microscopy (SPM). The process of detachment and pore-opening was also discussed.

The anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) templates on polycrystalline silicon substrate are studied for growth of ordered nano-dot arrays in order to fabricate the porous silicon layers. The AAO templates on polycrystalline silicon substrate with pores of average diameter 50nm were successfully prepared by one-step anodization of high pure aluminum layer deposited on polycrystalline silicon in oxalic acid solution. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that alumina nano-pore arrays were nicely constructed with smooth wall morphologies and well-defined diameters.

A multi-electrolyte-step (MES) anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) method was used to achieve nanochannel arrays with good circularity and periodic structure. The nano-channel array fabrication process included immersion in a phosphoric acid solution with a 120–150 bias voltage. Bowl-shaped structures were then formed by removing the walls of the nano-channel arrays. The nano-channel arrays were grown from the bottom of the bowl structure in an oxalic solution using a 50 V bias voltage. A comparison of this new MES process with the one-step and five-step AAO process showed a 50% improvement in the circularity over the one-step process. The standard deviation of the average period in the MES array was 25 nm which is less than that of one-step process. This MES method also took 1/4 of the growing time of the five-step process. The orderliness of the nano-channel arrays for the five-step and MES process was similar. Finally, Cu nanoparticle arrays with a 200 nm period were grown using an electroplating process inside the MES nano-channel arrays on fluorine doped tin oxide glass. Stronger surface plasmon resonance absorption from 550 nm to 750 nm was achieved with the MES process than was possible with the one-step process.
