Abstract
- Physically vitrifying single-element metallic glass requires ultrahigh cooling rates, which are still unachievable for most of the closest-packed metals. Here, we report a facile synthetic strategy for creating mono-atomic palladium metallic glass nanoparticles with a purity of 99.35 +/- 0.23 at% from palladium-silicon liquid droplets using a cooling rate below 1000 K/s. In-situ environmental transmission electron microscopy directly detected the leaching of silicon. Further hydrogen absorption experiment showed that this palladium metallic glass expanded little upon hydrogen uptake, exhibiting a great potential application for hydrogen separation. Our results provide insight into the formation of mono-atomic metallic glass at nanoscale.<br />Comment: Nano Res. (2022)
