The thesis project  is developed in the frame of the European project BIOREMIA (https://www.bioremia.eu/)

DESCRIPTION: Nanoporous metals are a new class of materials characterised by an high surface area and advanced optical and catalytic properties. The design of the size and morphology of ligaments and pores, by which the material is constituted, enables to access peculiar properties for biosensors, catalysis, antibacterial applications.

OBJECTIVES: i) design of Au nanoporous metals starting from metastable precursors (Au-Fe, Au amorphous alloys); ii) study of mechanism and kinetics of de-alloying, ligament  morphology formation; iii) design of Ti/TiO2 nanoporous metals for antibacterial applications

APPROACHES: Alloy synthesis, dealloying techniques (free corrosion, electrochemical dealloying), structural and microstructural characterisation (SEM, TEM, EDS, XRD, EBSD), calorimetry, electrochemistry, SERS, Raman. Work done in collaboration with PhD students.
