Scanning electron microscopy of the composite shows aluminum nanoparticles in a matrix of gallium. (Credit: Amberchan et al., 2022) Aluminum is a highly reactive metal that can strip oxygen from water ...

THE formation of boehmite on the surface of anodized aluminium by immersion in boiling water has been investigated by Hart 1. In particular, studying ammonium borate anodic films on aluminium, he ...

THERE are several modifications of aluminium oxide, the most important of which are α- and γ-forms. The latter cannot be considered as aluminium oxide proper, since it contains substantial quantities ...

With the unique properties of nanomaterials, such as having a high surface-to-volume ratio and a diverse morphology and structure, they have become a desirable material for different applications.

For years, researchers have tried to find efficient and cost-effective ways to harness the extreme reactivity of aluminum to generate clean hydrogen fuel. A new study shows that an easily produced ...
