Filter casting nanoscale porous materials
A method of producing nanoporous material includes the steps of providing a liquid, providing nanoparticles, producing a slurry of the liquid and the nanoparticles, removing the liquid from the slurry, and producing monolith.
1. A method of producing nanoporous material consisting of the steps of:
providing a liquid;
providing metal nanoparticles;
providing a sacrificial material, said step of providing a sacrificial material including providing a sacrificial polymer;
producing a slurry of said liquid, said metal nanoparticles, and said sacrificial material including said sacrificial polymer;
removing said liquid from said slurry;
producing a monolith; and
removing said sacrificial material from said monolith, said step of removing said sacrificial material from said monolith including removing said sacrificial polymer from said monolith.
