Abstract
dc.description.abstract
This work reports the synthesis of nanostructured ZrO2 by
anodization of zirconium electrodes at potentials well below
the range of 10–50 V used as a standard procedure. Zirconium
was first anodized in a 1M (NH4)2SO4 electrolyte and
then further anodized in the presence of fluoride ions added
to the electrolyte as NH4F. The maximum potential applied
to zirconium during the whole process was 1 V with respect
to an Ag/AgCl (sat.) reference electrode. Amorphous films of
ZrO2 consisting of nanopores and nanowire-like structures
were produced with this low-potential methodology
