Turning bulk materials into 0D, 1D and 2D metallic nanomaterials by selective aqueous corrosion†
Abstract
The realization of the facile and green synthesis of low-dimensional nanomaterials is critical not only for energy storage but also for catalysis. A selective aqueous corrosion strategy is presented here for obtaining low-dimensional metals, including nanoparticles, nanofibers and nanosheets, based on the dealloying of aqueous-favoring metal from its bulk alloy.
