The present work investigates the electrochemical formation of self-organized high aspect ratio TiO2and ZrO2nanotube layers. The formation and growth of a self-organized porous layer can be achieved directly by anodization without any templates in fluoride containing electrolytes. The morphology of the porous layers is affected by the electrochemical conditions such as the electrolyte composition, the pH and the exact polarization treatment (such as the potential sweep rate from the open-circuit potential to the anodizing potential). For Ti, nanotube layers are formed with diameters varying from approx. 20nm to 100nm and lengths from approx. 0.25μm to 2.5μm depending on the electrolytes and pH. On the other hand, for Zr, tubes of 50nm in diameter and up to approx. 17μm in length can be grown—a key parameter in this case is the potential sweep rate. The large difference between Ti and Zr in the achievable thickness of nanotube layers indicates a difference in the growth mechanism which may be based on the different chemical dissolution rates of electrochemically formed oxides.
