A new, simpler, and more environmentally friendly method for creating transparent aluminum oxide (TAlOx) has been developed by researchers. This innovative process, called droplet-scale anodization, involves applying microdroplets of acidic solution and a low electric current to ordinary aluminum. The resulting TAlOx is a strong, scratch-resistant material with potential applications in electronics and protective coatings. Unlike existing methods that are costly and complex, this low-energy approach offers a more accessible way to produce this versatile material. The research, highlighting the use of an electric field to control the process, suggests expanded possibilities for TAlOx in various technological fields.
