Nanoporous metals are metals with features in the pore structure in the range of 100 nm or less. Nanoporous copper (np-Cu) has recently attracted attention as an alternative to nanoporous gold or platinum. Our np-Cu is prepared by in-situ alloying of aluminium and copper using a 3D laser printer, followed by annealing at 530° C, and a subsequent de-alloying process to remove aluminium. The structural properties of the prepared Al-Cu alloy and np-Cu, including morphology, crystal structures, and chemical composition were systematically compared using X-ray diffraction and X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy; scanning electron microscopy provides surface topography and composition. In addition, the pore size distribution and internal surface area of np-Cu are quantified using micro-computed tomography and mercury intrusion porosimetry. After de-alloying, domains retain their spatial position and extension while their composition changes.
