Abstract

Abstract: The present article highlights synthesis and electrochemical double layer characterisation of nanoporous Au. The electrochemical double layer studies were carried out on nanoporous Au samples immersed in a weakly adsorbing HClO4 electrolyte in-situ in three-electrode cell geometry. The specific-volumetric capacitance value obtained from the double layer charging experiments are discussed in terms of the variation in ligament diameter.
