Abstract

Here, we report the synthesis of nanoporous gold (NPG) with a uniform structure by chemical dealloying of an AlAu intermetallic compound under free corrosion conditions. The length scales of ligaments/channels in NPG can be tuned by changing the dealloying solution. We verify that Cl-can accelerate the surface diffusion of Au atoms and induce the coarsening of ligaments/channels in NPG. In addition, a metastable intermediate Al2Au5phase appears during the dealloying of AlAu.
