Preparation of Al2O3 thin films on stainless steel by electrochemical deposition

Abstract This work presents a new electrochemical method (i.e. new electrolyte composition and electrolysis regimes) for direct formation of Al 2 O 3 on different metal substrates from non-aqueous electrolytes, data on the kinetics of the electrochemical processes and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and XPS studies of the morphology, structure, dispersion and chemical composition of deposited Al 2 O 3 .
