Abstract
Ordered anodic porous WO3 was prepared by the anodization of a W substrate with a depression pattern under a constant voltage of 18 V in concentrated phosphoric acid at 120 °C. However, the behavior of hole formation induced in depressions was found to be strongly affected by the depth and diameter of the depressions. Multiple holes were formed in a shallow depression during the initial stage of anodization, whereas only one hole was formed in a deep depression. In addition, when the depression diameter was small, the growth of fine holes around the induced holes was observed. Since the fine holes formed on the surface of anodic porous WO3 prevented the induced holes from growing in the depth direction, the formation of large-diameter depressions allowed the induced holes to grow deeper. The obtained ordered anodic porous WO3 can be used for various applications such as in photocatalysis and electrochromic devices.
