The synthesis of highly crystalline mesoporous materials is key to realizing high-performance chemical and biological sensors optoelectronics. However, minimizing surface oxidation enhancing the domain size without affecting porous nanoarchitecture are daunting challenges. Herein, we report a hybrid technique that combines bottom-up electrochemical growth with top-down plasma treatment produce ...

This thesis is devoted to the study of vertical Pourous Anodic Alumina templates (PAA) and the application thereof for nanoorganization and device fabrication. Our principle objective was to develop an anodization method of Al that allows a reproducible fabrication of PAA offering the possibility to create complex porous nanostructures as well as the organization of nanomaterials. The PAA fabri...

[1] We investigate the effects of the porosity (and thus permeability) of porous matrix and the fracture aperture on transport in fractured porous media. We do so with detailed lattice Boltzmann simulations on constructed porous media with a single fracture. Both plume spatial moments (the average plume velocity and the dispersion coefficients) and mass transfer coefficients between the facture...
