The Synthesis of Nano-Porous Alumina by Anodization Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

The porous alumina templates were synthesized by anodization process. For preparation, the aluminum foils were cleaned by acetone acid and ethanol. After that, cleaned foils were firstly anodized by oxalic acid with direct current (DC) voltage source. When the first anodization process was complete, the aluminum foils were etched by chromic and phosphoric acid for an hour and then they were secondarily anodized for 15 min to increase the pore depth. For characterization, the surface morphology of porous alumina on aluminum surface was evaluated by scanning electron microscope. The results show that the pore diameter increases with increasing DC voltage and concentration of oxalic acid. The lowest pore diameter is 57.19 nm at DC voltage of 20 V for concentration of 0.2 M that it has highest pores density of 157 Gpores/in2.
