摘要

Nanoporous metals prepared by dealloying have attracted increasing attention due to their interesting size-dependent physical,chemical,and biological properties.However,facile fabrication of metallic ultra-thin freestanding nanoporous films(UF-NPFs)by dealloying is still challenging.Herein,we report a novel strategy of facile preparation of flexible Cu,Cu3Ag,and CuAg UF-NPFs by dealloying thick Mg-Cu(Ag)-Gd metallic glass ribbons.During dealloying,the local reaction latent heat-induced glass transition of the precursor ribbons leads to the formation of a solid/liquid interface between the initially dealloyed nanoporous layer and the underlying supercooled liquid layer.Due to the bulging effect of in situ gen-erated H2 on the solid/liquid interface,Cu,Cu3Ag,and CuAg UF-NPFs with thicknesses of～200 nm can self-peel off from the outer surface of the dealloying ribbons.Moreover,it was found that the surface-enhanced Raman scattering(SERS)detection limit of Rhodamine 6G(R6G)on the Cu and CuAg UF-NPF substrates are 10-6 M and 10-11 M,respectively,which are lower than most of the Cu and Cu-Ag sub-strates prepared by other methods.This work presents a reliable simple strategy to synthesize a variety of cost effective and flexible metallic UF-NPFs for functional applications.
