Photoluminescence from quasi-dendritic ZnO nanostructures grown in anodic alumina nanochannels

On-Wafer Wide-Pore Anodic Aluminum Oxide

“…[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] Initially led by Matsuda et al, AAO has attracted significant attention as a template for the fabrication of various nanostructured materials and devices. 14 These include, but are not limited to; sensors, [15][16][17][18][19] filters, [20][21][22][23] optics, [24][25][26][27][28][29] piezoelectrics, [30][31][32][33][34] catalysis, [35][36][37][38][39][40] and energy storage devices, [41][42][43][44][45][46] where it has played multiple roles. As a template it has been used for synthesizing nanoscale electrodes for both cathode and anode materials including but not limited to Li, Na, Mg, and Al systems, or as separators to achieve high performance devices.…”
