Stability of Nanoporous Metals
A study of the stability of bicontinuous nanoporous metals is presented. Atomic scale simulations are used to probe the dominant mechanisms of geometric relaxation in these materials. A method is presented for generating model bicontinuous metal / void structures for use in atomistic simulations of …

EFFECTS OF SIZE AND COMPOSITION ON THE PERFORMANCE OF DEALLOYED NANOPOROUS METAL CATALYSTS FOR CO2 REDUCTION, O2 EVOLUTION, AND H2 GENERATION
… on one specific type of material systems, namely nanoporous metals which find wide applications in energy conversion and storage, and study their structure-performance relations towards various catalytic reactions including CO2 reduction, O2 evolution and H2 generation. In doing so, I aim to …

Nanoporosity Formation in Ag-Au Alloys
… interconnected and random in direction. Nanoporous metals are desirable since they have larger surface areas than an equal volume of non-porous material. Because of their enormous surface area per volume, these highly porous metal electrodes are superior materials for high surface area …

Micromechanical modelling of advanced hierarchical composites
Nanoporous metals are uniquely interesting materials. Their high ductility and impressive strength in compression make them a favourable candidate for use in structural applications. However, these materials under-perform when tested in tension. This issue may be addressed by impregnating the …

Nanoporous Platinum
… in using the corrosion process to produce porous metals has developed. Applications for these structures range from high surface area electrodes for biomedical sensors to use as skeletal structures for fundamental studies (e.g. low temperature heat exchangers or sensitivity of surface diffusivity …
