In this study, we manufactured the anodized alumina oxide (AAO) template and fabricated the carbon nanofibers and manganese oxide nanofibers using AAO template for application to electrochemical capacitor. Pore diameters of the AAO template were increased from 50 to 90 nm by increasing the acid treatment time after two-step anodizing process. Furthermore nanofibers, which is fabricated by AAO template, showed uniform diameter and micro structure. It is suggested that the surface area is larger than commercial electrode material and it is enhancing the energy density by increasing the specific capacitance.

AAO template having nano scale pores of high aspect ratio has been prepared through anodizing of aluminum foil in sulfuric acid electrolyte. The effect of anodizing parameters on the pore size and distribution was also examined to obtain the proper AAO as a template material of nanowire. The surface of AAO template prepared was observed by SEM to examine the mean size and distribution of pores generated by the anodizing and Fe nanowires obtained by AC electroforming using AAO template were also observed with TEM to determine the length and shape of them. From the results of work, it was found that the mean size or distribution of pores was influenced significantly by the anodizing parameters such as voltage and temperature of electrolyte. Mean length and aspect ratio of Fe nanowires prepared in the work were found to be $10{\mu}m\;and\;300\;to\;1,000$, respectively.

Anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) which prepared with two-step anodizing method (with dissimilar solutions) was used as a template to fabricate highly ordered, free standing metal nano-rods. AAO nano-template technique can realize self-organized hexagonal pore structure with nanometer dimension size, it's easy to control pore diameter, length and density by varying anodizing conditions. Ni and Ni/Fe/Cu multi-metal layer nanorods were electrochemically deposited into AAO nano-template by AC voltage in simple sulfate solutions.. The properties of samples are tested by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission microscopy (FE-SEM).

The growth of carbon nanotubes(CNTs) in anodic aluminum oxide(AAO) template and their application to a field emitter are described. AAO templates were fabricated by anodizing bulk aluminum and sputtered thin Al film on Nb-coated Si wafers. After Co catalyst had been electrochemically deposited into the bottom of the pores in AAO template, CNTs were grown by pyrolyzing $C_2H_2$. Depending on the reaction conditions, CNTs grew up to or over the top of the pores in AAO template with different structures. The morphology and structure of CNTs were observed with a scanning electron microscope and a transmission electron microscope. The diameter of CNTs strongly depended on the size of the pores in AAO template and the growing conditions. The electron field emission measurement of the samples resulted in the turn-on field of 1.9-2.2 $V/{\mu}m$ and the field enhancement factor of 2450-5200. The observation of high field enhancement factors is explained in terms of low field screening effect.

Ni nanowires were fabricated using anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membrane as a template by electrochemical deposition. The nanowires were formed within the walls of AAO template with 200 nm in pore diameter. After researching proper voltage and temperature for electrochemical deposition, the length of Ni nanowires was controlled by deposition time and the supply of electrolyte. The morphology and microstructure of Ni nanowires were investigated by field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SE), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscope (TEM).

In this study, the application of biosensor having a large surface area for more effective and AAO (anomic aluminium oxide) template in order to gain concentration and voltage of anodizing process morphology changes to the control of experiments were conducted. The biosensor surface may increase the response characteristics by having a large surface area. So the entrance to a little more efficient wide depth sensing experiment was carried out to obtain a structure body with a branch shape with a large surface area with increasing. Experimental results from the FE-SEM observation was obtained template morphology. As a result, depending on the anodizing time, the depth of the layer of aluminum oxide was found that it was confirmed that the deepening of the pore size changes according to anodizing condition. And measuring the detection performance according to the conditions in the electrolyte and the reaction because of blood using a biosensor measuring sensing property according to the depth of the pore depth is considered that does not have a significant impact.

We studied an electrolyte-dielectric metal (EDM) device based on a Si₃N₄ layer-coated anodic aluminium oxide (AAO) template for chemical sensors. The AAO templates were fabricated using a two-step anodization procedure at 0℃ and 70 V in 0.3 M oxalic acid, after which the Si₃N₄ was deposited on them using plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). The average pore size was approximately 106 nm and the depth of the AAO templates was 24.6 nm to 86.5 nm. The Si₃N₄ layer-coated AAO is more stable than a single AAO template.
