An in-situ small angle x ray scattering analysis of nanopore formation during thermally induced chemical dealloying of brass thin foils

Abstract The development of non-noble nano-porous metal materials is hindered by surface oxidation reactions and from the difficulty to generate long range order pore arrays. Dealloying is a promising route to generate such materials by selective chemical etching of metal alloy materials. This proce...
