Formation mechanism and characterization of nanoporous silver with tunable porosity and promising capacitive performance by chemical dealloying of glassy precursor

Formation mechanism of forming nanoporous silver with tunable porosity by chemically dealloying metallic glasses was proposed. The evolution behavior of the ligament size can be well described by a diffusion based growth kinetic model. In addition, the capacitive performance data indicated that our newly developed nanoporous silver is promising for applications as electrode/substrate materials in electrochemical supercapacitors.311
