The authors investigated anomalous nanoporous structures of aluminum oxides during the Al anodization process. We implemented two-steps anodizing process for the electrolyte of oxalic acid. As increasing DC voltages, lattice constants are proportionally increased. For the curved surface, the surface electric field was distorted so that the nanoporous pipe channel changed to a cone-type shape. We confirmed the periodicity by using the FFT(Fast Fourier Transform) analysis.

Anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) nanotemplates for nano electronic device applications have been attracting increasing interest because of ease of fabrication, low cost process, and possible fabrication in large area. The size and density of the nanostructured materials can be controlled by changing the pore diameter and the pole density of AAO nanotemplate. In this paper, AAO nanotemplate was fabricated by second anodization method. In addition, effects of electrolyte and anodization voltate on the microstructure of porous alumina films were investigated. Vertically well aligned pores had the average pore sizes of 15-70 nm and the length of approximately 40 ${\mu}m$.

Due to the potential importance and usefulness, usage of highly ordered nanoporous anodized aluminum oxide can be broadened in industry, when highly ordered anodized aluminum oxide can be placed on a substrate with controlled thickness. Here we report a facile route to highly ordered nanoporous alumina with the thickness of hundreds-of-nanometer on a silicon wafer substrate. Hexagonally or tetragonally ordered nanoporous alumina could be prepared by way of thermal imprinting, dry etching, and anodization. Adoption of reusable polymer soft molds enabled the control of the thickness of the highly ordered porous alumina. It also increased reproducibility of imprinting process and reduced the expense for mold production and pattern generation. As nanoporous alumina templates are mechanically and thermally stable, we expect that the simple and costeffective fabrication through our method would be highly applicable in electronics industry.

Highly ordered silver nanowire with a diameter of 10 nm was arrayed by electroless deposition in a porous anodic aluminum oxide(AAO) membrane. The AAO membrane was fabricated electrochemically in an oxalic acid solution via a two-step anodization process, while growth of the silver nanowire was initiated by using electroless deposition at the long-range-ordered nanochannels of the AAO membrane followed by thermal reduction of a silver nitrate aqueous solution by increasing the temperature up to $350^{\circ}C$ for an hour. An additional electro-chemical procedure was applied after the two-step anodization to control the pore size and channel density of AAO, which enabled us to fabricate highly-ordered silver nanowire on a large scale. Electroless deposition of silver nitrate aqueous solution into the AAO membrane and thermal reduction of silver nanowires was performed by increasing the temperature up to $350^{\circ}C$ for 1 h. The morphologies of silver nanowires arrayed in the AAO membrane were investigated using SEM. The chemical composition and crystalline structure were confirmed by XRD and EDX. The electroless-deposited silver nanowires in AAO revealed a well-crystallized self-ordered array with a width of 10 nm.

본 연구에서는 산업에서 많이 이용되는 알루미늄 3104H18 금속을 양극산화하여 다공성 나노구조 및 나노섬유 구조의 알루미늄 산화막을 형성하였다. 양극산화를 위한 전해질은 피로인산(H4P2O7)과 증류수를 혼합하여 사용하였다. 양극산화 진행 시 전해질의 농도, 온도, 인가전압과 같은 다양한 변수를 통해 다공성 알루미늄 산화막과 나노섬유 구조를 형성할 수 있었다. 나노섬유 구조를 형성하기 위해서는 피로인산 전해질 농도가 75 wt%, 인가전압이 30 V, 20℃의 양극산화 온도가 최적 조건임을 밝혀냈다. 인가전압이 40 V 이상이 되었을 때는 산화물의 용출속도의 증가 또는 높아진 전압으로 인한 채널벽의 두께증가로 인하여 다공성 나노구조의 형태가 나타난다는 것을 확인했다. 본 연구를 통하여 전해질의 농도, 인가전압 및 온도에 따른 산화물의 형성 및 용해반응이 평형을 이루었을 때 가장 나노섬유가 잘 형성된 알루미늄 산화막을 형성할 수 있음을 밝혔다.

Climate change has worsened droughts and floods, and created conditions more likely to lead to pathogen contamination of surface water and groundwater. Thus, there is a growing need to disinfect livestock water. Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation is widely accepted as an appropriate method for disinfecting livestock water, as it does not produce hazardous chemical compounds and kills pathogens. However, UV-based disinfection inevitably consumes electricity, so it is necessary to improve UV disinfection effectiveness. Aluminum-based reflective nanolens arrays that enhanced the effectiveness of a continuous-flow UV water disinfection system were developed using electrochemical and chemical processes, including electropolishing and two-step anodization. A continuous UV disinfection system was custom designed and the parts were produced using a three-dimensional printer. Electropolished aluminum was anodized at 40 and 80 V in 0.3 M oxalic acid, at 120 and 160 V in 1.0 M phosphoric acid, and at 200 and 240 V in 1.5 M citric acid. The average nanolens diameters (D) of the aluminum-based reflective nanolens arrays prepared using 40, 80, 120, 160, 200, and 240 V anodization were 95.44, 160.98, 226.64, 309.90, 296.32, and 339.68 nm, respectively. Simple UV reflection behind irradiated water disinfected Escherichia coli O157:H7 in water more than did the non-reflective control. UV reflection and focusing behind irradiated water using an aluminum-based reflective nanolens array disinfected E. coli O157:H7 more than did simple UV reflection. Such enhancement of the UV disinfection effectiveness was significantly effective when a nanolens array with D 226.64 nm, close to the wavelength of the irradiated UV (254 nm), was used.

The anodic oxidation behavior of Si-containing aluminum alloy for diecasting was investigated. Especially, the property changes during anodization both on aluminum 1050 and 9 weight percentage silicon containing aluminum (Al-9Si) alloys were analyzed by the static current test. In order to fabricate a uniform anodic oxidation film by effect of Al-Si compound, nitric acid containing hydrofluoric acid had been used as a desmutter for aluminum alloy after alkaline etching. It was found that the level of voltage of Al-9Si alloy during the static current test was almost as double as higher than aluminum 1050 through anodization. By adding hydrofluoric acid in the nitric acid electrolyte, the silicon compound on the surface was removed, and the optimum amount of added hydrofluoric acid could be derived. It was also observed that the size of silicon compound formed on the surface could be refined by heat treatment at $500^{\circ}C$ and followed water quenching.

양극산화 알루미늄(anodic aluminum oxide, AAO) 나노템플레이트는 제작이 쉬우며, 저비용, 대면적 제작이 가능하다는 장점으로 인해 이를 나노 전자소자 제작에 응용하려는 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 이러한 나노템플레이트를 이용하면 기공의 직경이나 밀도를 변화킴으로써 나노구조의 물질의 크기나 밀도를 제어할 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 나노 전자소자 제작에 응용할 수 있는 AAO 나노템플레이트를 2단계 양극산화법에 의해 제조하였다. 이를 위해 기존의 알루미늄 판 대신 실리콘 웨이퍼 상에 DC 마그네트론 스퍼터법으로 $2{\mu}m$ 두께의 알루미늄 박막을 증착하였고, 전해액으로 사용한 옥살산 용액의 온도 및 양극산화 전압에 따른 다공성 알루미나 막의 미세구조를 조사하였다. 전해액 온도가 $8^{\circ}C$에서 $20^{\circ}C$로 높아짐에 따라 다공성 알루미나 막의 성장속도는 86.2 nm/min에서 179.5 nm/min으로 증가하였다. 최적 조건에서 제작된 AAO 나노 템플레이트의 기공 직경 및 깊이는 각각 70 nm와 $1\;{\mu}m$이었다.
