Effect of pulse voltage and aluminum purity on the characteristics of anodic aluminum oxide using hybrid pulse anodization at room temperature

Most of the anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) templates are performed by potentiostatical method at 0-10 °C to inhibit the Joule's heat enhanced dissolution in aluminum oxide for well-ordered cell configuration. In this article, we propose the hybrid pulse anodization (HPA) method with effective suppression of Joule's heat generation to fabricate AAO at room temperature. Effects of purity of aluminum (Al) foils and pulse voltage on the evolution of pore characteristics have been investigated. The AAO morphology is captured by scanning electron microscope and analyzed via gray-scale imaging in order to identify the pore size distribution. The increased applied potential results in the widened pores and non-uniform cell arrangement due to the increased current density and variation. Moreover, low-purity Al foils lead to the reduced AAO distribution uniformity owing to the uneven electric field induced pits on the Al surface for inferior pore arrangement. Extending both the positive and negative pulse period from 1 s to 5 s during HPA can enhance the distribution uniformity of AAO from high-purity Al by up to about 95%. In addition, the relationship between AAO configuration and Al purity and pulse voltage is further discussed and established.     

Porous alumina nano-membranes: Soft replica molding for large area UV-nanoimprint lithography

High-density ordered arrays of h-PDMS nanopillars were fabricated using an anodic aluminium oxide (AAO) template. The pore diameter and the interpore distance of the replica h-PDMS molding are well consistent with that of AAO template. The inverse h-PDMS has the surface characteristic of hydrophobic and surface energy of 130°. Hexagonally arranged array can be obtained by UV-nanoimprint lithography using our proposed h-PDMS mold, and their morphologies can be transferred truly. Besides, the h-PDMS mold has been used to fabricate photonic crystal structure on GaN by nanoimprint process, which could be found an application in the light output of GaN LED.

Effect of anneal pre-treatment of polycrystalline aluminum sheets on synthesis of highly-ordered anodic aluminum oxide membranes

Anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membranes with large ordered pore domains were successfully prepared by adopting the anneal pre-treatment of polycrystalline aluminum sheets. A statistical method with Gaussian distribution was introduced to quantitatively study the size of the domain with ordered pores. The largest average area of ordered pore domains was 2.6 μm²±0.11 μm². The corresponding AAO membrane was synthesized by aluminum sheets annealed at 893 K for 24 h.

Anodized Aluminum Oxide/Polydimethylsiloxane Hybrid Mold for Roll‐to‐Roll Nanoimprinting

Two types (hard and soft) of the molds are widely used in nanoimprint lithography for a high throughput over a large area, and high‐resolution parallel patterning. Although hard molds have proven excellent resolutions and can be used at high temperatures, cracks often occur in the mold in addition to the requirement of high imprinting pressure. On the other hand, though soft molds can operate at lower pressures, they give poor pattern resolution. Here, a novel hybrid mold of anodized aluminum oxide (AAO) template attached to a flexible polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) plate is introduced. Due to the flexible nature of PDMS, various polymer nanostructures are obtained on flat and curved substrates without crack formation on the AAO mold surface. Furthermore, the hybrid mold is successfully used for roll‐to‐roll imprinting for the fabrication of high density array of various shaped polymeric nanostructures over a large area.

Enhanced biological nutrient removal in modified carbon source division anaerobic anoxic oxic process with return activated sludge pre-concentration☆

A pilot-scale modified carbon source division anaerobic anoxic oxic (AAO) process with pre-concentration of returned activated sludge (RAS) was proposed in this study for the enhanced biological nutrient removal (BNR) of municipal wastewater with limited carbon source. The influent carbon source was fed in step while a novel RAS pre-concentration tank was adopted to improve BNR efficiency, and the effects of an influent carbon source distribution ratio and a RAS pre-concentration ratio were investigated. The results show that the removal efficiency of TN is mainly influenced by the carbon source distribution ratio while the TP removal relies on the RAS pre-concentration ratio. The optimum carbon source distribution ratio and RAS pre-concentration ratio are 60%and 50%, respectively, with an inner recycling ratio of 100%under the optimum steady operation of pilot test, reaching an average effluent TN concentration of 9.8 mg·L?1 with a removal efficiency of 63%and an average TP removal efficiency of 94%. The mechanism of nutrient removal is discussed and the kinetics is analyzed. The results reveal that the optimal carbon source distribution ratio provides sufficient denitrifying carbon source to each anoxic phase, reducing nitrate accumulation while the RAS pre-concentration ratio improves the condition of anaerobic zone to ensure the phosphorus release due to less nitrate in the returned sludge. Therefore, nitrifying bacteria, denitrifying bacteria and phosphorus accumulation organisms play an important role under the optimum condition, enhancing the performance of nutrient removal in this test.
