Abstract:Al, Cu, Ni, Sn, Ti and Zn have been textured by the application of laser ablation. Laser ablation creates structures such as pits, pillars as well as crystalline nanoparticles and aggregations of these nanoparticles. Subsequently these textured substrates are subjected to high-voltage anodization. TiO2 nanotube formation is quite facile conforming to the initial substrate topology, some time also forming nanotube pills. Increased reaction rates induced by ablation induced surface area increase, nanoparticle de… Show more
