Publisher's Note: Facile One-Pot Synthesis of Nanoporous Copper Ribbons with Bimodal Pore Size Distributions by Chemical Dealloying [J. Electrochem Soc.,158, D611 (2011)]

A facile one-pot dealloying strategy to synthesize monolithic asymmetry-patterned nanoporous copper ribbons with tunable microstructure and nanoporosity

“…21,33,40,41 On the other hand, during the dealloying of Al-based alloys in alkali solution, surface diffusivity of MN atoms is much slower than that in acid media due to the formation of MN-hydroxy species, the interaction of MN atoms and OH À , and the low solubility of AlO 2 À . [42][43][44] So in this case, it can be easier to understand that much higher surface diffusivity can be achieved in the HCl solution. This also will be further discussed based on the calculation on the surface diffusivity in the following section.…”
