Microscopic structure and actuation performance of nanoporous platinum (np-Pt) (IMAGE)
Caption
Np-Pt is made up of interconnected small-diameter ligaments, or strands, of platinum as small as two nanometers (10-9 m) in diameter with tiny pores in between. The small nature of the platinum ligaments and the numerous tiny pores improve the structural stability of the material and its energy conductivity, as indicated by the graph illustrating current density, or the amount of charge flowing through a particular area in a given time, and relative length change.
