Abstract

Self-aligned ZrO2 nanotube (ZNT) arrays were produced by anodization of Zr in aqueous sulphate/fluoride and ethylene glycol (EG)/fluoride electrolytes. The morphologies of the oxide produced were compared. It appears that the nanotubes formed in EG/fluoride are clearer showing smoother walls indicating better cell boundaries separation in this electrolyte. They are also longer with length > 10 µm after 1 hour of anodization. The x-ray diffraction pattern of the ZNTs revealed that ZNTs are cubic oxide.
