Practically, all indication for hot carriers generation and photocatalytic activity [1] the current available preparation techniques are multistep, upon white-light illumination. Several metallic networks and the resulting nanoporous metal contains foreign addi- have been fabricated, including Cu, Ag, Au, Al, Pt, Ti, and Fe tives which eventually govern their optoelectronic properties (Figure S2, Supporting Information). [2] and may deteriorate their performance. Dealloying, sacrificial Normally, PVD is used to form fine homogeneous thin-films [3] [4,5] templating, and colloidal chemistry are the most common rather than porous ones. A substance vapor is formed by either strategies used to fabricate nanoporous metals. The inner energetic collisions (sputtering) or heating until evaporation. architecture of nanoporous metals consists of random sizes Factors such as deposition parameters, surface morphology, and shapes of both particles and holes. Consequently, these and surface chemistry determine the atoms mobility and the [13] metallic architectures are able to interact with the entire solar preferential nucleation TI - Direct Fabrication of 3D Metallic Networks and Their Performance JF - Advanced Materials DO - 10.1002/adma.201604018 DA - 2017-02-01 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/wiley/direct-fabrication-of-3d-metallic-networks-and-their-performance-636DZXoJbG SP - n/a EP - n/a VL - 29 IS - 7 DP - DeepDyve ER -
