Turn Bulks into 0D, 1D and 2D Metallic Nanomaterials by Selective Aqueous Corrosion

Realization of facile and green synthesis of low-dimensional nanomaterials is critical not only for energy storage but also for catalysis. A selective aqueous corrosion strategy is presented here for the obtaining of low-dimensional metals including nanoparticles, nanofibers and nanosheets, based on dealloying of the aqueous-favoring metal from its bulk alloy.
