Electrochemical oxidation of titanium by pulsed discharge in electrolyte

Evaluation of the influence of texture and microstructure of titanium substrates on TiO2 anodic coatings at 60 V

“…Since for many applications a smooth coating thickness is desired, mechanisms to minimize this effect on  Ti have been proposed. The procedures have been related to physical and electrochemical aspects of the process, such as increased growth rate [13,18], oxidation time [27], stirring [28] and electrolyte temperature [28,29].…”

Electrochemical behavior of zinc in KOH media at high voltage: Micro-arc oxidation of zinc

“…From a practical point of view, an alternating current mode (AC) or different regimes of pulsed currents are also used to obtain thick coatings, or to treat simultaneously two electrodes in a two-electrode cell. In this case, the formation of electric discharges and the anodic coatings growth are dependent on both the AC frequency and the electrolyte composition [18,19].…”

Preparation and characterization of TiO2/Ti film electrodes by anodization at low voltage for photoelectrocatalytic application

“…The high-voltage anodization process has been intensively studied and applied to prepare the crystallized TiO 2 film without any thermal treatment [7,8]. However, these anodized TiO 2 films usually have a detached-hole structure at a scale of micrometers, resulting from a violent electrolyzing oxidation reaction at a high anode-cathode voltage (usually above 160 V) far beyond a sparking discharge voltage (about 100 V) [8][9][10].…”
