Nowadays, anodic aluminum oxide ( membranes are popular materials for potential applications in different areas such ascatalysis, molecular separation, biomedical applications, drugs delivery and nanostructure fabrication, among others Even though the aluminum anodizing process dates to 1857 the increasing interest becomes remarkable in the nanotechnology field since Masuda et al 1 reported the two stage anodizing process for obtaining self ordered AAO templates Afterwards, Lee et al 2 proposed an AAO fast synthesis alternative by applying only one step anodizing process, called hard anodization ( This latter is usually achieved by using sophisticated power supplies to reach pore diameters between 100 and 200 nmIn this work, we present an innovative technological proposal performed to reach high quality AAO membranes fabricated by HA synthesis at very low cost
