Porous anodic alumina membranes (AAMs) with the 200 nm pores were successfully prepared electrochemically from Al sheets embedded H3PO4 solution. We found that the fitted voltage for the anodization is 160 V, and the concentration of the electrolyte is 0.1 M. Photoluminescence (PL) measurements of AAMs showed an ultraviolet emission at 320 nm, which originated from ionized oxygen vacancies (F+ centers).

We describe variations in the structure and formation mechanism of alumina nanowires (ANWs) formed from porous anodic alumina (PAA) membranes, depending on the composition of the etching solution. Two types of ANWs were synthesized by etching PAA membranes in etching solutions containing H 3 PO 4 or NaOH . Not only did the ANW formation mechanism vary, but also the morphological properties and the surface chemical composition of the ANWs varied with the etching solution used. These results suggest that the ANW surfaces may be optimized by the appropriate selection of etching solution. The optimization of ANWs may potentially advance, for example, water purification technological developments because ANWs have, in recent studies, provided more effective filtration performances than nanoporous alumina membrane filters.

Highly ordered TiO2 nanowire arrays were prepared in anodic alumina membranes by a sol-gel method. The nanowires are single-crystalline anatase phase with uniform diameters around 50 nm. At room temperature, photoluminescence (PL) measurements of these TiO2 nanowire arrays showed a visible broad band with three peaks, which were located at about 425, 460, and 530 nm that are attributed to self-trapped excitons, F, and F+ centers, respectively. A model is also presented to explain the PL intensity drop-down of the TiO2 nanowire arrays embedded in the alumina membrane: the blue PL band of the anodic alumina membranes arises from the F+ centers on the pore walls, and the TiO2 nanowires first form in the center area of the pores and then extend to the pore walls.
