Low-melting-temperature post transition metals are emerging metallic solvents for synthesising a variety of metal crystals. These liquid-metal-grown crystals possess unique yet tuneable morphological/compositional characteristics that can be harnessed for designing high-performance catalysts.
In this talk, I will present our recent results regarding growing metal crystals in liquid metal systems and their post-growth reconstruction for fabricating hierarchical nanoporous architectures. The performance of selected nanoarchitectures as electrocatalysts for CO2 conversion applications will demonstrated.
