Three-Dimensional Morphological and Chemical Evolution of Nanoporous Stainless Steel by Liquid Metal Dealloying [3D Morphological and Chemical Evolution of Nanoporous Stainless Steel by Liquid Metal Dealloying]
Abstract
Nanoporous materials, especially those fabricated by liquid metal dealloying processes, possess great potential in a wide range of applications due to their high surface area, bi-continuous structure—with both open pores for transport and solid phase for conductivity or support—and economical materials cost. Here we used x-ray nano-tomography and x-ray fluorescence microscopy to reveal the three-dimensional (3D) morphology and elemental distribution within materials. Focusing on nanoporous stainless steel, we evaluated the 3D morphology of the dealloying-front and established a quantitative processing-structure-property relationship at a later stage of dealloying. The morphological differences of samples created by liquid metal dealloying and aqueous dealloying methods were also discussed. Here, we concluded that it is particularly important to consider the dealloying, coarsening and densification mechanisms in influencing the performance-determining, critical 3D parameters such as tortuosity, pore size, porosity, curvature and interfacial shape.
