1. Protective and Nanoporous Alumina Films Studied in situ by X-ray and Electrochemical Methods
Abstract : In this thesis, the studies of native and anodic oxides on both aluminum model single crystal surfaces as well as on aluminum alloys found in applications are presented. The focus has been on the characterization in situ as the oxide is growing by an electrochemical process called anodization. READ MORE

2. Ordered arrays of low-dimensional Au and Pd : synthesis and in situ observations
Abstract : Electrodeposition of metals in templates of nano-porous anodic aluminum oxide (NP-AAO) is a versatile way of fabricating ordered arrays of metal nanowires. Thanks to the self-arranged long-range hexagonal order of the pores, electrodeposition in NP-AAO is an easily scalable bottom-up synthesis route and an attractive alternative to traditional top-down fabrication methods such as electron beam lithography.

3. The synergistic role of hierarchical macro- and mesoporous implant surface and microscopic view of enhanced osseointegration
Abstract : The trend for designing of a titanium implant explored using different chemical compositions and crystallinity materials until people realized that the implant surface character was another important factor affecting the rate and extent of osseointegartion. Titanium received a macroporous titania surface layer by anodization, which contains open pores with average pore diameter around 5μm. READ MORE

4. Sustainable Surface Functionalization of Lightweight Materials : Cerium Oxide Nanoparticles Replacing Chromium in Anodic Coatings and Carbon Nanomaterials for Lightning Strike Protection
Abstract : Aviation accounts for 2-3% of the carbon dioxide emitted globally. One way to reduce emissions is to develop and introduce sustainable, functional, lightweight materials and coatings that increase the lifetime and fuel efficiency of aircraft. READ MORE

5. Electrochemical characterisations of TiO2 nanotube and lithium-metal electrodes for lithium-based batteries
Abstract : Lithium-ion batteries have since their introduction on the commercial market in the early 1990s played an important role within the field of energy storage. In this thesis both titanium dioxide, TiO2, and lithium metal are investigated based on their properties as anodes for lithium-based battery technologies. TiO2 nanotubes with lengths between 4.
