This is the first report of the dependence of the pore diameter in a titania membrane prepared by anodizing a titanium substrate in the presence of fluoride ions on the curvature of its surface. Titania membranes with uniform pores are formed on the smooth electrode surface. The pore diameter is greater in the case of negative curvature of the titanium substrate, while it is smaller in the case of positive curvature.
