The total thickness of the oxide layer decreased as the MPD-boric acid electrolyte ratio increased. The crystallinities of the Zr-Al2O3 composite layer decreased as the MPD-boric acid ratio increased. Increasing the MPD-boric acid electrolyte ratio effectively enhanced the withstanding voltage. The specific capacitance of sample was maximized by anodization in 3:10 MPD-boric acid electrolyte.
