| Popis: | We fabricated 3D nanoporous metal structures from poly(2-vinylpyridine)-block-poly(4-vinylpyridine) copolymer (P24VP) thin film with vertically oriented lamellar nanodomains by coordinating corresponding metal precursors followed by reduction to metals. Although metal precursors are coordinated with both P2VP and P4VP blocks, the metal coordination power toward P4VP block is much greater than that toward P2VP block. Thus, most of the metal precursors are located in the P4VP block, while a few exist in the P2VP block. After the metal precursors were reduced to corresponding metals by reactive ion etching, metals located in P4VP regions became continuous main frames. However, metals in P2VP regions could not be continuous because of smaller amounts, resulting in nanoporous structures. Using these 3D nanoporous structures, we measured the electrocatalytic activity for hydrogen evolution reaction. 3D nanoporous platinum (Pt) showed enhanced catalytic activity compared with Pt flat film due to the large surface area. Moreover, 3D nanoporous Pt/cobalt bimetallic structures showed better catalytic activity than 3D nanoporous Pt structures. |
