Ultrasound assisted large scale fabrication of superhydrophilic anodized SnOx films with highly uniformed nanoporous arrays

Investigation of Ultrasonic Treatment on Physicochemical, Structural and Morphological Properties of Sodium Alginate/AgNPs/Apple Polyphenol Films and Its Preservation Effect on Strawberry

“…It can be observed that after APP and AgNPs are added to SA, their positions show an increasing trend, and this indicates that the three have intermolecular interactions. In addition, Gao et al [ 48 ] pointed out that the ultrasonic treatment can improve or reduce the crystal surface activity of the nanoparticles, resulting in the peak value, which is related to the medium.…”

Dual effects of ultrasound on fabrication of anodic aluminum oxide

“…Although the UAA mechanisms have been discussed in this study, the dual effects of UAA are not only caused by ultrasonic vibration and cavitation. Other factors, such as changes in the number of interfacial active sites [9] or cavitation bubble collapse [22] might affect AAO fabrication. Unlike the above studies, the focus here was on distinguishing the effects of ultrasound on targets in different phases.…”

“…The advantages of ultrasound in the AAO fabrication have been detected, such as in cleaning oxide film [6] , increasing anodization current density [7] , and promoting film growth [8] . Recently, negative effects of ultrasound on AAO have also been found, in which ultrasound can reduce the anodization current and fabrication efficiency [9] . These paradoxical findings have been inferred to be attributable to the various ways in which ultrasound impacts the solid, liquid, and gas phases.…”

Formation of Nanoporous Anodized Tin Oxide Films in Electrolyte Containing F− and S2−

“…[1][2][3][4] Meanwhile, several techniques which could prepare nanostructure tin oxide have been developed, including thermal template-assisted methods, 5 electrospinning, 6 solution-based synthesis, 7 evaporation, 8 anodization. [9][10][11][12][13][14][15] In this regard, the electrochemical anodization has attracted great interest due to its extreme simplicity and low cost.…”

“…For metal tin, a simple one-step anodization was performed in acidic electrolytes, [9][10][11] alkaline electrolytes, [10][11][12][13] and organic electrolytes containing F − and S. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] An irregular and randomly distributed porous tin oxide layer is obtained, which is completely different from the hexagonal array of porous anodized aluminum oxide 16 or nanotube titanium oxide. [17][18][19] The formed oxide layer is amorphous and can be converted into crystalline SnO 2 and SnO by annealing treatment.…”
