The synthesis of a conformal three-dimensional nanostructure based on porous anodic alumina with transversal nanopores on wires is herein presented. The resulting three-dimensional network exhibits the same nanostructure as that obtained on planar geometries, but with a macroscopic cylindrical geometry. The morphological analysis of the nanostructure revealed the effects of the initial defects on the aluminum surface and the mechanical strains on the integrity of the three-dimensional network. The results evidence the feasibility of obtaining 3D porous anodic alumina on non-planar aluminum substrates., The European Research Council and the EU-H2020 program are gratefully acknowledged for co-funding this work through the projects Tonality (ERC-2014-PoC) and Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow (706094–TONSOPS).
