Article Abstract
Nanoporous Cu foam is widely applied in many fields such as the packaging of electronic power devices. In this study, a sandwich-structured Cu-Zn eutectic alloy precursor composed of CuZn/CuZn/CuZn is prepared through electroplating. The surface layer of the precursor, CuZn, has a flat surface with numerous grain boundaries, which effectively promotes its dealloying behavior. By contrast, CuZn has a porous structure, which promotes the dealloying behavior at the center of the precursor. The dealloying of CuZn is dominated by the coherent surface diffusion of Cu atoms, and the crystal lattice and orientation show no changes before and after dealloying. By contrast, the dealloying behavior of CuZn requires the renucleation of Cu crystals; in this process, Cu atoms are transported to the surface of the layer by capillary forces to form clusters, which nucleate and grow.

Transition metal oxides (TMOs) are a promising material for use as anodes in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). TMO anode can be classified on the basis of their lithiation/delithiation mechanism, such as intercalation mechanism-based TMO anode, conversion mechanism-based TMOs, and alloying/dealloying mechanism-based TMO anode. Each class of TMOs has its own advantages and limitations.

Given the low elastic modulus, favorable bioactivity, and intrinsic biodegradability of Mg alloys, Ti-Mg composites comprising Mg embedded within a continuous Ti matrix are considered a promising alternative to conventional porous Ti alloys. During implantation, the Mg phase undergoes programmable degradation-mediated pore-formation, which synergistically promotes osseointegration and bone infiltration, while the retained Ti matrix provides mechanical support similar to that of porous Ti alloy implants. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of recent advancements in Ti-Mg composites, emphasizing their advantages as implant materials in terms of tunable microstructural architectures and performance optimization potential.

Li metal powder (LMP) can be used to produce Li metal anodes that are wider and thinner than existing Li metal foils at a lower price; consequently, it is attracting attention as a promising anode material for secondary high-energy density Li metal batteries (LMBs). In the present study, microscopy is adopted to decipher the effects of a lithiophilic nanoadditive─Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs)─on the electrochemical behavior of LMP-based Li metal anodes. A composite Li metal anode is fabricated by implanting AgNPs into LMP, and the surface morphological changes and electrochemical behaviors are analyzed during electrochemical cycling.

A surface treatment of amorphous alloy was conducted using reciprocating friction, and precursors with varying degrees of surface roughness were selectively etched to form a three-dimensional nanoporous structure with interconnected networks. The wear behavior induced by friction facilitates dealloying to different extents. While altering the surface roughness of the amorphous alloy, this method preserves its unique structure and maintains the advantages of the precursor in preparing nanoporous materials (NPMs).

Electrochemical nitrate reduction reaction (NORR) is a green and environmentally friendly process with great potential for sustainable nitrogen cycle management and ecofriendly ammonia production. Development of catalysts with high Faradaic efficiency (FE) and ammonia yield is still a challenge for the large-scale industrial application of the NORR. In this work, a self-supported nanoporous bimetallic Cu-Pd-based catalyst (np Cu-Pd@ZrCuAl) is prepared by dealloying and galvanic replacement.
