In this study, the cyclic voltammetry method was first used to find the reduced voltages and anodic peaks of Bi3+, Sb3+, and Te4+ ions as the judgments for the growth of the (Bi,Sb)2 - x Te3 + x-based materials. Ethylene glycol (C2H6O2) was used as a solvent, and 0.3 M potassium iodide (KI) was used to improve the conductivity of the solution. Two different electrolyte formulas were first used:...

Nanocontainers have great potentials in targeted drug delivery and nanospace-confined reactions. However, the previous synthetic approaches exhibited limited control over the morphology, size and materials of the nanocontainers, which are crucial in practical applications. Here, we present a synthetic approach to multi-segment linear-shaped nanopores with pre-designed morphologies inside anodic...

We report on the photocatalytic activity of ZnO layers deposited by atomic layer deposition a porous anodic aluminum oxide substrate with hexagonal pore symmetry and varied dimensions. ZnO/Al2O3 composites were prepared diameters in range 93–134 nm interpore distance 185–286 nm, their was measured for gas-phase oxidation acetaldehyde at varying UV illumination intensities (0.08–3.94 mW cm?2). T...

Abstract Background Anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template is widespread due to its diverse metal nanostructures. Various solar selective black coatings on were investigated. Spectrally nano-coating of nickel, copper and nickel–copper anodized was produced. Results The performed via electrodeposition evaluated by measurement coating thickness, hardness optical properties. Also, these analyzed sca...

Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a widely used commercial material that is finding use in wound healing applications due to its antimicrobial properties. Our study demonstrates a novel approach for coating ZnO with precise thickness control onto 20 nm and 100 nm pore diameter anodized aluminum oxide using atomic layer deposition (ALD). ZnO was deposited throughout the nanoporous structure of the anodized al...

Generic approaches to nano-dots and nano-rings have been developed via sputtering an Au layer on one planar surface side of porous anodic aluminum oxide template and subsequent electrodeposition.
