Abstract

A continuous process for the preparation of structurally well-defined uniform alumina (Al2O3) nanotubes was developed. The present nanofabrication approach is based on pulse anodization of aluminum by using sulfuric acid and provides unique opportunity for a facile tailoring of the length of nanotubes by controlling the pulse duration.
