Thin-film solid-state metal dealloying (thin-film SSMD) is an emerging technique that uses self-organization to design nanostructured thin films. The resulting 3D bicontinuous nanostructures are promising for a wide range of applications, such as catalysis and energy storage. In this work, we prepared thin films by SSMD using Ti-Cu as the parent alloy and Mg as the solvent. Using a multimodal approach, we combined synchrotron X-ray spectroscopy, diffraction, and high-resolution electron-based spectroscopy and imaging to study their morphological, structural, and chemical evolution. The processing-structure relationship was analyzed as a function of parent alloy composition and dealloying temperature and time. Morphological transitions from globular, to lamellar, to bicontinuous structures, in conjunction with a ligament size evolution, were identified as functions of the parent alloy composition. The dealloying rate increased with increasing concentration of interdiffusing elements (dissolving component) in the parent alloy. The parting limit, a dealloying compositional threshold, was systematically analyzed and determined to be 30%–40%. The order of crystalline phase formation is CuMg₂, Cu₂Mg, and Ti; the Ti phase first shows self-reorganization during dealloying, separate from the crystallization process. The coarsening in thin-film SSMD was identified and not entirely self-similar; in addition to the increase of ligament size over time, the formation of larger globular ligaments were also observed. This work furthers our fundamental understanding of thin-film SSMD and nanostructured thin-film design, where the thermodynamic and kinetic effects differ from the bulk counterparts. The fact that dealloying and diffusion outpaces the crystallization and new phase formation also offers opportunities to utilize thin-film SSMD in certain alloy systems in which deleterious intermetallic phases need to be suppressed, that may not be possible in the bulk geometry.
