Abstract
The anodic formation of self-organized porous on titanium was investigated in 1 M electrolytes containing 0.5 wt % by potential sweeps to . By a combination of electrochemical, morphological, and compositional information we show that the sweep rate has a significant influence on the initiation and growth of the porous structures. In the first phase of the anodization process, a precursor barrier type of oxide film is formed; underneath this film pores then start growing first randomly and then self-organize. High-aspect-ratio nanostructures can be obtained under optimized electrochemical conditions. These nanotubular oxide layers have single-pore diameter ranging from 90 to 110 nm, average spacing of 150 nm, and porosity in the order of 37–42%. The current work indicates that the nature of the initial barrier-type layer has a strong influence on establishing optimized pore growth conditions.
