Abstract
The process control of anodization has been a hot topic for a long time. In this study, the addition of phosphoric acid to the traditional electrolyte changed the ion distribution on the reaction interface and the composition of the anion contamination layer so as to achieve the slowing down effect on anodization, the mechanism and theoretical model of which are also given in this paper. TiO2 is a common material in photoelectrocatalysis, but there are few studies on the photoelectrochemical performance of TiO2 nanotube arrays. The stability and rapidity of the photoelectrochemical response of TiO2 nanotube arrays prepared in phosphoric acid containing an electrolyte were effectively optimized in this study.

Fluoride anodic films on stainless-steel fomites to reduce transmission infections. Appl Environ Microbiol 2024; 90:e0189223.

Abstract
The growing concern arising from viruses with pandemic potential and multi-resistant bacteria responsible for hospital-acquired infections and outbreaks of food poisoning has led to an increased awareness of indirect contact transmission. This has resulted in a renewed interest to confer antimicrobial properties to commonly used metallic materials. The present work provides a full characterization of optimized fluoride anodic films grown in stainless steel 304L as well as their antimicrobial properties. Antibacterial tests show that the anodic film, composed mainly of chromium and iron fluorides, reduces the count and the percentage of the area covered by 50% and 87.7% for Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, respectively. Virologic tests show that the same treatment reduces the infectivity of the coronavirus HCoV-229E-GFP, in comparison with the non-anodized stainless steel 304L.IMPORTANCEThe importance of environmental surfaces as a source of infection is a topic of particular interest today, as many microorganisms can survive on these surfaces and infect humans through direct contact. Modification of these surfaces by anodizing has been shown to be useful for some alloys of medical interest. This work evaluates the effect of anodizing on stainless steel, a metal widely used in a variety of applications. According to the study, the fluoride anodic layers reduce the colonization of the surfaces by both bacteria and viruses, thus reducing the risk of acquiring infections from these sources.

Abstract
Photoanodes consisting of titania nanotubes (TNTs) grown on transparent conductive oxides (TCO) by anodic oxidation are being widely investigated as a low-cost alternative to silicon-based materials, e.g., in solar light-harvesting applications. Intending to enhance the optical properties of those photoanodes, the modification of the surface chemistry or control of the geometrical characteristics of developed TNTs has been explored. In this review, the recent advancement in light-harvesting properties of transparent anodic TNTs formed onto TCO is summarized. The physical deposition methods such as magnetron sputtering, pulsed laser deposition and electron beam evaporation are the most reported for the deposition of Ti film onto TCO, which are subsequently anodized. A concise description of methods utilized to improve the adhesion of the deposited film and achieve TNT layers without cracks and delamination after the anodization is outlined. Then, the different models describing the formation mechanism of anodic TNTs are discussed with particular focus on the impact of the deposited Ti film thickness on the adhesion of TNTs. Finally, the effects of the modifications of both the surface chemistry and morphological features of materials on their photocatalyst and photovoltaic performances are discussed. For each section, experimental results obtained by different research groups are evoked.

Abstract
To achieve practically high electrocatalytic performance for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), the active surface area should be maximized without severely compromising electron and mass transport throughout the catalyst electrode. Though the importance of electron and mass transport has been studied using low surface area catalysts under low current densities (∼tens of mA/cm2), the transport properties of large surface area catalysts under high operating current densities (∼500 mA/cm2) for practical OER catalysis have rarely been explored. Herein, three-dimensional (3D) hierarchically porous anodized nickel foams (ANFs) with large and variable surface areas were synthesized via electrochemical anodization of 3D nickel foam and applied as OER electrocatalysts in Fe-free and unpurified KOH electrolytes. Using Fe-free and in situ Fe-doped ANF that were prepared in Fe-free and unpurified electrolytes, respectively, we investigated the interdependent effects of active surface area and transport properties on OER activity under practically high current densities. While activity increased linearly with active surface area for Fe-free ANF, the activity of Fe-doped ANF showed a nonlinear increase with active surface area due to lower electrocatalytic activity enhancement. Detailed investigations on the possible factors (Fe incorporation, mass transport, and electron transport) identified that electron transport limitations played the major role in restricting the activity enhancement with increasing active surface area for Fe-doped ANF, although Fe-doped ANF has electron transport properties better than those of Fe-free ANF. This study exemplifies the growing significance of electron transport properties in large surface area catalysts, especially those with superb intrinsic catalytic activity and high operating current density.

Abstract
A novel and simple method is reported for producing a self-organized nanoporous structure on austenitic stainless steel (SUS-304L) with open-top morphology. Uniform nanopores with a quasi-hexagonal arrangement were obtained on a very large scale with no crack formation by using single-step anodization. Electropolishing of SUS-304L in ethylene glycol monobutyl ether and perchloric acid electrolyte prior to anodization was the key factor to obtain self-organized and regularly ordered nanopores. Under optimized electropolishing conditions, a honeycomb-like patterned morphology of shallow nanopores was developed on the surface of SUS-304L. Anodization of the patterned morphology in ethylene glycol-based electrolyte generated self-organized and ordered nanopores. Morphology, structure and chemical analyses of the samples were carried-out using FESEM, EDAX, XRD, XPS and ToF-SIMS. FESEM images revealed the formation of hexagonal and ordered nanopores with uniform diameter. EDAX analysis confirmed that the nanoporous oxide layer is composed of iron, chromium, nickel and oxygen. A blue energy shift in the XPS spectra was observed after annealing, which is attributed to the absence of F-species. ToF-SIMS depth profile analysis confirmed the high content of chromium oxide on the surface of the nanoporous oxide layer. The hexagonal nanoporous ordered morphology is useful in anti-corrosion and decoration applications.

Abstract
Different chemical and physical treatments have been used to improve the properties and functionalities of steels. Anodizing is one of the most promising treatments, due to its versatility and easy industrial implementation. It allows the growth of nanoestructured oxide films with interesting properties able to be employed in different industrial sectors. The present work studies the influence of the anodizing time (15, 30, 45 and 60 min), as well as the stirring speed (0, 200, 400, and 600 rpm), on the morphology and the corrosion resistance of the anodic layers grown in 304L stainless steel. The anodic layers were characterized morphologically, compositionally, and electrochemically, in order to determine the influence of the anodization parameters on their corrosion behavior in a 0.6 mol L−1 NaCl solution. The results show that at 45 and 60 min anodizing times, the formation of two microstructures is favored, associated with the collapse of the nanoporous structures at the metal-oxide interphace. However, both the stirring speed and the anodizing time have a negligeable effect on the corrosion behavior of the anodized 304L SS samples, since their electrochemical values are similar to those of the non-anodized ones.
