Abstract

Fe₇₆Si₉B₁₀P₅ amorphous alloys annealed at 773~833 K with heterogeneous microstructure consisting of α-Fe, Fe₂B and Fe₃P phases, were de-alloyed in 0.05 mol/L H₂SO₄ solution. The porous structure was formed due to the preferential dissolution of α-Fe phase in the form of micro-coupling cells between α-Fe phase and cathodic residual phases. The size of nanopores increased from 150 nm to 260 nm with the temperature increasing from 773 K to 883 K. The nanoporous Fe-Si-B-P electrode showed much superior redox performance compared with Fe₇₆Si₉B₁₀P₅ amorphous alloy, which was ascribed to its large specific area and more electrochemical active sites.

Key words: metallic materials crystallization of amorphous alloys dealloying nanoporous structure redox reaction
