Formation Of Nanotubular Oxide By Anodization Of Valve Metals

The formation of TiO2 nanotubes (TNTs), ZrO2 nanotubes (ZNTs) and segmented WO3 nanotubes (WNTs) by anodization of Ti, Zr, and W metal was successful in fluorinated aqueous and organic electrolyte. In aqueous electrolyte, acidic 1 M Na2SO4 (pH 3). Glycerol and ethylene glycol were the organic electr...
