Formation of highly saturated Al–Ag precursor by rapid solidification for skeletal silver synthesis

Synthesis of antimicrobial AlOOH–Ag composite nanostructures by water oxidation of bimetallic Al–Ag nanoparticles

“…a solid solution of Ag in Al. A similar XRD pattern was reported in 20 for a rapidly solidied 85Al-15Ag alloy. The calculated lattice parameter is 0.4049 nm which corresponds to pure Al.…”

Rapid solidification and mechanical alloying of Al–Co–Ag ternary alloys for skeletal silver cobalt synthesis

“…In addition, the second peak at around 730 K is due to the precipitation of the Al 9 Co 2 phase from the Al phase . The first peak temperature is close to that for the rapidly solidified binary Al-Ag alloy [12].…”

“…From XRD and EPMA analysis, the white region A was the AlAg 2 phase, the black region B was the Al 9 Co 2 phase. The region C showed Widmanstätten structure which is composed of Al and Ag 2 Al phases that were precipitated from the super-saturated Al phase during cooling after solidification [12]. The major phase was the Al phase for all alloys.…”

Silver Foams with Hierarchical Porous Structures: From Manufacturing to Antibacterial Activity

“…The literature on dealloying of Al–Ag alloys in NaOH media is limited to a few studies. 24 , 25 , 27 , 31 In ref ( 27 ), the authors concluded that the initial composition of the different precursor Al–Ag alloys and the composition of the dealloying solutions (HCl vs NaOH) have a significant effect on the development of nanoporosity in the final materials, with smaller ligament dimensions found for treatments with NaOH vs HCl. One of the most relevant studies is ref ( 25 ), which concluded that the presence of chlorides (Cl – ) in the HCl solution can accelerate the surface diffusion of undissolved noble elements and thus induce ligament coarsening in the final nanoporous structures.…”
