In this study, the effect of anodizing voltage on the morphology of porous anodic alumina and growth kinetics of anodizing of aluminium manganese alloy was reported. It was found that the increasing anodizing voltage affect the morphology and dimensional parameters of porous AAO. Both pore diameter and interpore distance increased as a function of anodizing voltage. The regularity of porous AAO was affected by anodizing voltage. Dielectric breakdown occurred at anodizing voltage of 70 V and led to protrusions and cracks of the porous anodic alumina. Moderate anodizing voltage promoted the formation of well ordered pore arrangement while disordered pore arrangement was observed when the anodizing voltage was too low or too high. The thickness of porous AAO increased as the anodizing voltage increased.

In this study, the effect of anodizing voltage on the morphologies, pore diameter and interpore distance on the porous anodic alumina formed on aluminium manganese alloy was reported. It was found that the anodizing influenced the morphologies and regularities of porous anodic alumina formed on aluminum-manganese substrate. Well ordered porous anodic alumina was obtained when anodizing voltage were 40 V and 50 V respectively. Disordered porous anodic alumina was formed when anodizing of 30 V and 70 V were applied during the anodizing process. Both pore diameter and interpore distance of porous anodic alumina increased linearly with the anodizing voltage.

The influence of manganese content on the formation of well-ordered porous anodic alumina was studied. Porous anodic alumina has been produced on aluminium substrate of different manganese content by single-step anodizing at 50 V in 0.3 M oxalic acid at 15°C for 60 minutes. The well-ordered pore and cell structure was revealed by subjecting the porous anodic alumina to oxide dissolution treatment in a mixture of chromic acid and phosphoric acid. It was found that the manganese content above 1 wt% impaired the regularity of the cell and pore structure significantly, which can be attributed to the presence of secondary phases in the starting material with manganese content above 1 wt%. The pore diameter and interpore distance decreased with the addition of manganese into the substrates. The time variation of current density and the thickness of porous anodic alumina also decreased as a function of the manganese content in the substrates.

The morphology of porous anodic alumina (PAA) formed by anodizing in inorganic electrolytes is reported. An impure aluminum was anodized in sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid and chromic acidat room temperature with a constant applied potential 2 – 30 V. The formation of porous anodic alumina was carried out by one and two steps anodization. It is clearly noted that anodizing impure aluminum at room temperature provide higher kinetic of oxide dissolution compared to oxide growth. Two steps anodizing aluminum in sulfate electrolyte always resulted in random porous alumina, while phosphate electrolyte provided strong anodization producing irregular porous alumina with average diameter of 61.6 nm. Two steps anodizing aluminum in chromate electrolyte produce better pore ordering with relatively large size pore distributions. The average pore diameter of alumina increases linearly with applied voltage, with proportionality factor lp 0.83 nmV-1. Annealing the sample increased the interpore distance, removed stresses providing lower activation energy for pore formation.

A novel method for fabricating ordered double layers porous anodic alumina (DL-PAA) with controllable nanopore size was presented. Highly ordered large pore layer with interpore distance of 480 nm was fabricated in phosphoric acid solution with oxalic acid addition at the potential of 195 V and the small pore layer was fabricated in oxalic acid solution at the potential from 60 to 100 V. Experimental results show that the thickness of large pore layer is linearly correlative with anodizing time, and pore diameter is linearly correlative with pore widening time. When the anodizing potential in oxalic acid solution was adjusted from 60 to 100 V, the small pore layers with continuously tunable interpore distance from 142 to 241 nm and pore density from1.94×109to4.89×109 cm−2were obtained. And the interpore distance and the pore density of small pore layers are closely correlative with the anodizing potential. The fabricated DL-PAA templates can be widely utilized for fabrication of ordered nanomaterials, such as superhydrophobic or gecko-inspired adhesive materials and metal or semiconductor nanowires.

In this study, oxide dissolution treatment was used for the formation of well ordered porous anodic alumina. Porous anodic alumina was formed on mechanically polished high purity aluminium by anodizing at 50 V in 0.3 M oxalic acid of 15°C for 60 minutes. It is observed that the pore arrangement of as anodized porous anodic alumina was randomly distributed and showed no ordered hexagonal cell structure. As anodized porous anodic alumina were then subjected to oxide dissolution treatment of increasing exposure duration, up to three minutes. Micrographs were captured by using scanning electron microscope. Pore arrangement of porous anodic alumina subjected to oxide dissolution treatment up to two minutes were similar to one another where no ordered periodic structures were formed. .When porous anodic alumina subjected to oxide dissolution treatment for three minutes, a perfect hexagonal pore arrangement was obtained.
