Preparation and Characterisation of Alumina Template Obtained by OneStep Anodization Method
Journal Title: Analele Universitatii "Dunarea de Jos" din Galati. Fascicula IX, Metalurgie si Stiinta Materialelor - Year 2013, Vol 36, Issue 2
Abstract
The goal of this study was to obtain an alumina template (AAO) by one-step anodization method and to evaluate its optical properties correlated with the annealing temperature. AAO was obtained from two different media: sulphuric acid (1.5 M H2SO4) and oxalic acid (0.4 M H2C2O4) at a potential of 15 V and 40 V, respectively. AAO morphology and chemical composition had been investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The average pore diameters such as 20 nm for AAO obtained from H2SO4 and 40 nm from H2C2O4 were measured. The crystalline structures of AAO samples annealed at three different temperatures of 150 ºC, 300 ºC and 350 ºC were studied by Xray diffractometry (XRD). The effect of annealing temperature on the optical properties of AAO was studied by UV-VIS spectrophotometry.
