Abstract

For a film of aluminum oxide (Al2O3) formed in distilled water (H2O), a linear growth was revealed during the high-voltage anodization time of 2000 s, and it was found that its electroluminescence (EL) is reliably recorded at an Al2O3 thickness of about 120 nm. It is shown that in DV and its deuterium-containing analogue, deuterium water (D2O), the electrolysis formation of Al2O3 is possible. cellular-nanoporous structure, identical to that formed in aqueous solutions of electrolytes. It was found that the presence of such a structure in the oxide is not a prerequisite for the generation of its EL. The EL spectrum of Al2O3 in H2O and D2O, as well as in “water-like” electrolytes: ethylene glycol, N, N-dimethylethanolamine, and isopentanol, was recorded for the first time. In the investigated range of 400–700 nm, significant differences in the luminescence in water and the above alcohols are revealed. For EL, the short-wavelength component with a wavelength of the order of 440 nm dominates in water, and in alcohols, the long-wavelength component with a maximum at 625 nm. In this case, nonstationarity of luminescence is observed both in the spectral composition and in the intensity of individual parts of the spectrum for the entire time of aluminum anodization.
