Advanced Characterization of Nanoporous Gold

El-Zoka A.A., Newman R.C., Langelier B., University of Toronto, CA

The interest in nanoporous metals, formed by controlled dealloying of noble metal alloys, has been increasing due to the promising capabilities of such materials. The functionality of NPG is heavily affected by attributes such as [...]

In situ TEM/STEM of the Coarsening of Nanoporous Gold

El-Zoka A.A., Howe J., Newman R.C., Perovic D., University of Toronto, CA

Nanoporous gold (NPG) is usually fabricated by the selective electrolytic dissolution (dealloying) of Ag from a binary Ag-Au alloy, or sometimes from a ternary alloy such as Ag- Au-Pt. The resulting ligament-pore structure is bicontinuous [...]
