Abstract

Metallic materials are key for electrochemical energy conversion and storage when they are tailored into electrodes designed for rapid reaction kinetics, high electrical conductivities, and high stability. Nanoporous metals formed by dealloying could meet all of these requirements, as the dealloyed products beckon energy researchers with their fascinating structures and outstanding performance. In this article, we discuss the characteristics of dealloyed materials related to their functions in energy devices. We then review nanoporous metal electrodes for applications in fuel cells, supercapacitors, and batteries to provide insights into selection and design criteria for meeting the diverse needs of energy conversion and storage.
