Purpose This paper aims to study the anodization of aluminum in a mixture solution of 1,3-propanediol solutions and 0.4 mol l
ā1 H3 PO4 at a low temperature.Design/methodology/approach The morphology and composition of the resulting anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template was characterized by means of a scanning electron microscope in combination with an energy dispersive spectrometer.Findings Pore density and pore diameter both were found to be dependent on the temperature of anodization.Originality/value The resulting AAO templates exhibited uniform and regular pores with diameters that were significantly smaller than those found in AAO templates anodized at room temperature.
