Experimental
Fig. 1. SEM top-views (left) and side-views (right) of the as-prepared PAA nanostructures. With the cyclic times increasing, the pore structure is gradually evolved into the parabola-shaped (a), the trumpet-shaped (b) and cone-shaped (c), and more complex geometry such as the cone-shaped (d), pencil-shaped (e) and U-shaped (f) pores with tiny nipples at the top of cell joints.

(b) The thickness (TT-BL) of barrier layer and the thickness (TT-P) of taper-pores as a function of the cyclic times of multi-step anodizing and etching. (c) The thickness (TC-BL) of the barrier layer and the thickness (TC-P) of cylindrical pores as a function of the cyclic times of multi-step anodizing without inserted etching.

Results and discussion
Fig. 3. (a) Schematic depiction of the top morphologies of pores adorned with nipples at the cell joints. As the anion-doped part (gray) was dissolved out, the open sizes of pores reached their limit. With the etching duration extending, the cell boundary (black) was further dissolved out while the cell joints (nipples) were remained. (b) The open size of pores varied with the cyclic times

Results and discussion
Fig. 5. Side-view SEM images of conical PAA nanostructures with tunable aspect ratios (AR), which were obtained under different cyclic anodization time. (a) AR = 1.4 (10 s); (b) AR = 1.9 (15 s); (c) AR = 3.3 (30 s); (d) AR = 4.6 (40 s); (e) AR = 7.0 (60 s) and (f) AR = 10.4 (80 s). (g) The curve of the aspect ratio of cone-shaped nanopores linearly varied with the anodization time.
