AbstractHigh-aspect ratio ordered nanomaterial arrays exhibit several unique physicochemical and optical properties. Porous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) is one of the most typical ordered porous structures and can be easily fabricated by applying an electrochemical anodizing process to Al. However, the dimensional and structural controllability of conventional porous AAOs is limited to a narrow range because there are only a few electrolytes that work in this process. Here, we provide a novel anodizing method using an alkaline electrolyte, sodium tetraborate (Na2B4O7), for the fabrication of a high-aspect ratio, self-ordered nanospike porous AAO structure. This self-ordered porous AAO structure possesses a wide range of the interpore distance under a new anodizing regime, and highly ordered porous AAO structures can be fabricated using pre-nanotexturing of Al. The vertical pore walls of porous AAOs have unique nanospikes measuring several tens of nanometers in periodicity, and we demonstrate that AAO can be used as a template for the fabrication of nanomaterials with a large surface area. We also reveal that stable anodizing without the occurrence of oxide burning and the subsequent formation of uniform self-ordered AAO structures can be achieved on complicated three-dimensional substrates.

Highly ordered through-hole anodic porous alumina membranes were fabricated by electrochemical oxidation of aluminum in a controlled two-step process. A teflon dispositive was used to ensure single side anodization. Under the most appropriate condition for the fabrication of ideally ordered anodic aluminum oxide (AAO), the voltage used was 15 V during 24 h in a 15 % w/v sulfuric acid solution. SEM, TEM and FESEM characterization shows that the as-fabricated AAO film has a defect-free array of straight parallel channels perpendicular to the surface. The thickness of the porous membrane is 20 microns, approximately. The ordered channels are formed in a honey comb arrange with a pore diameter in the range 20-30 nm, wall thickness of 10-20 nm, interpore distance of 40 nm, and high aspect ratio of 850. The pore density, quantified by image analysis, is 5.4×1010 pore/cm2; perfect ordering was maintained in the full depth of the membrane. Dimensions of this porous structure provide a convenient way to precision engineer the nanoscale morphology.
