title = "Monolithic nanoporous copper with novel electrochemical properties fabricated by dealloying Cu-Zr(-Al) metallic glasses",
abstract = "Monolithic uniform nanoporous Cu (NPC) ribbons with a ligament/pore size of 10-25 nm are successfully synthesized by chemical dealloying the Cu50Zr50 and Cu50Zr45Al5 metallic glasses in 0.5 M HF for 7 min. It is found that the length scale of ligaments/channels can be tuned by simply alloying 5 at.% Al to the Cu-Zr binary glassy alloys. The current signal of the NPC-supported MnO2 composite electrode is remarkably enhanced as compared to that of pure MnO2 powders. These new findings greatly raise the hope for possible applications of NPC as a new type of electrode substrates or an advanced sensor in green and new energy technology.",
