Abstract
The fabrication of nano-scale structures and patterns has attracted much attention due to their technological impacts in applications. The present chapter highlights the electrochemical fabrication of nanoporous and nanotubular structures on metal and alloy surfaces based on self-organization. Electrochemical anodization of valve metals and their alloys forms nanoporous or nanotubular oxide layers when anodization is carried out in fluoride-containing electrolytes under optimized conditions. Morphology of porous/tubular oxide layer, that is, diameter and thickness, can be tuned by tailoring electrochemical conditions. Structures obtained strongly depend also on substrate composition—nanoporous oxide layers are formed on Al, Nb, Ta and W whereas nanotubular oxide layers are obtained on Ti, Zr and Hf. Some interesting phenomena—morphological transition from pores to tubes and two-size scale self-organization—are observed when alloys consisting of valve metals are anodized.
