One-step anodization of aluminium at ambient temperature

The formation of nano pores on aluminum at 30oC- 38oC, employing a one step anodization technique which does not require removing the oxide layer formed is presented. A 20% phosphoric acid electrolyte (concentration higher than the normal anodization concentration of 5 to 10%) at a cell potential of...
