Abstract

We synthesize nanoporous platinum (np-Pt) through electrochemical dealloying in aqueous HF from cosputtered PtxSi1-x amorphous films for different initial composition and sputter bias conditions. We demonstrate that, in addition to the expected isotropic open cell np-Pt foam, anisotropic (columnar and Voronoi) np-Pt is obtained. There are two levels of anisotropy: on the micron scale, 100 nm columns or 1 μm Voronoi polygons form. Inside the columnar and Voronoi hyperstructures, the ligaments and pores are anisotropic ranging from 5 to 25 nm. The ligament diameter and grain size is 5 nm for all reported structures. A processing-structure map is developed that correlate np-Pt structures to processing conditions.
