Abstract
In the present work we show that self-ordered nanotubular and nanoporous magnesium oxy-fluoride structures can be grown on a magnesium-based alloy when anodized in a non-aqueous (ethylene glycol) HF electrolyte. The morphology of the surface structures varies with applied potential and anodisation time. Tubular and porous structures with different sizes and orientation can be grown.
