| Abstract: Durable porous metal nanostructures comprising thin metal nanosheets that
are metastable under some conditions that commonly produce rapid
reduction in surface area due to sintering and/or Ostwald ripening. The
invention further comprises the method for making such durable porous
metal nanostructures. Durable, high-surface area nanostructures result
from the formation of persistent durable holes or pores in metal
nanosheets formed from dendritic nanosheets. |
