Abstract

Currently, the study of the electric parameters of porous anodic alumina (PAA) layers is of interest for sensor applications (humidity, DNA, etc.). PAA layers are synthesized using electrochemical anodizing of aluminum foil in potentiostatic mode with an aqueous solution of sulfuric acid and glycerin as an electrolyte. The surface morphology of the layers was studied by atomic force microscopy. The electric characteristics were studied using impedance spectroscopy at room temperature and under heating. An increase in the impedance of the heat-treated PAA sample was found, as well as an increase in the impedance with an increase in the measurement temperature. The results are explained by the influence of adsorbed water molecules on the electric characteristics of porous layers.
