Abstract

Fabrication of macroscopic nanoporous metallic networks is challenging, because it demands fine structures at the nanoscale over a large-scale. A technique to form pure scalable networks is introduced. The networked-metals ("Netals") exhibit a strong interaction with light and indicate a large fraction of hot-electrons generation. These hot-electrons are available to derive photocatalytic processes.
