Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a method for preparing cubic pyramidal porous silver micro / nanomaterials, belonging to the field of inorganic nanomaterial preparation technology. Background Technology
[0002] Silver nanomaterials, due to their high thermal and electrical conductivity, antibacterial properties, and catalytic activity, have potential applications in microelectronics, biosensors, data storage, pharmaceutical antibacterial applications, and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, and are considered a promising noble metal material. The performance of silver nanomaterials largely depends on their shape, size, and composition; therefore, synthesizing silver nanomaterials with different structures is of great significance for the research of nanosilver. Nanoporous silver, due to its porosity, possesses characteristics such as large specific surface area, low relative density, low thermal conductivity, and good energy absorption performance, and has been widely used in aerospace, electronic communications, petrochemicals, and transportation. Currently, the main methods for preparing nanoporous silver include electrochemical deposition, polymer synthesis, and dealloying.
[0003] Chinese patent document CN115971506A discloses a chemical self-assembly method for large-size porous silver. This method uses silver nitrate solution as a precursor and prepares porous silver micro / nanostructures resembling stacked silver needles, silver coral, silver snowflakes, and silver spheres by controlling the reducing agent, pH value, and temperature. However, the porous silver prepared by this patent method is a physically stacked structure, which suffers from poor pore channel adjustability and uniformity. Chinese patent document CN115229200A discloses a method for preparing cubic porous silver micromaterials. This method grows cubic cuprous oxide nanomaterials on the surface of a copper sheet via electrochemical oxidation, and then uses the prepared cuprous oxide nanomaterials as templates for displacement in a silver nitrate solution to obtain cubic porous silver micromaterials on the copper sheet surface. However, the porous silver prepared by this patent method is mostly a copper-silver alloy structure, making it difficult to obtain elemental silver micro / nanomaterials. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new method for preparing porous silver micro / nanomaterials that can overcome the problems of existing technologies. Summary of the Invention
