    Abstract Networks of random-assembled gold clusters produced in the gas phase show resistive switching (RS) activity at room temperature and they are suitable for the fabrication of devices for neuromorphic data processing and classification. Fully connected cluster-assembled nanostructured Au films are characterized by a granular structure rich of interfaces, grain boundaries and crystalline defects. Here we report a systematic characterization of the electroforming process of the cluster-assembled films demonstrating how this process affects the interplay between the nano- and mesoscale film structure and the neuromorphic characteristics of the resistive switching activity. The understanding and the control of the influence of the resistive switching forming process on the organization of specific structures at different scales of the cluster-assembled films, provide the possibility to engineer random-assembled neuromorphic architectures for data processing task.

    Abstract Nanoporous (NP) gold, the most extensively studied and efficient NP metal, possesses exceptional properties that make it highly attractive for advanced technological applications. Notably, its remarkable catalytic properties in various significant reactions hold enormous potential. However, the exploration of its catalytic activity in the degradation of water pollutants remains limited. Nevertheless, previous research has reported the catalytic activity of NP Au in the degradation of methyl orange (MO), a toxic azo dye commonly found in water. This study aims to investigate the behavior of nanoporous gold in MO solutions using UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy and high-performance liquid chromatography. The NP Au was prepared by chemical removal of silver atoms of an AuAg precursor alloy prepared by ball milling. Immersion tests were conducted on both pellets and powders of NP Au, followed by examination of the residual solutions. Additionally, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electrochemical impedance measurements were employed to analyze NP Au after the tests. The findings reveal that the predominant and faster process involves the partially reversible adsorption of MO onto NP Au, while the catalytic degradation of the dye plays a secondary and slower role in this system.

    Abstract Nanoporous Au has been subjected to serial block face-scanning electron microscopy (SBF-SEM) 3D-characterisation. Corresponding sections have been digitalized and used to evaluate the associated mechanical properties. Our investigation demonstrates that the sample is homogeneous and isotropic. The effective Young's modulus estimated by an analytical multiscale approach agrees remarkably well with the values stated in the literature.

    Abstract The capability of synthesizing specific nanoparticles (NPs) by varying their shape, size and composition in a controlled fashion represents a typical set of engineering tools that tune the NPs magnetic response via their anisotropy. In particular, variations in NP composition mainly affect the magnetocrystalline anisotropy component, while the different magnetic responses of NPs with isotropic (i.e., spherical) or elongated shapes are mainly caused by changes in their shape anisotropy. In this context, we propose a novel route to obtain monodispersed, partially hollow magnetite nanorods (NRs) by colloidal synthesis, in order to exploit their shape anisotropy to increase the related coercivity; we then modify their composition via a cation exchange (CE) approach. The combination of a synthetic and post-synthetic approach on NRs gave rise to dramatic variations in their magnetic features, with the pores causing an initial magnetic hardening that was further enhanced by the post-synthetic introduction of a manganese oxide shell. Indeed, the coupling of the core and shell ferrimagnetic phases led to even harder magnetic NRs.

    Abstract The present study focuses on the modification of surface compositional profiles induced in nanoporous (NP) Au catalysts by the catalytic oxidation of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide in the presence of oxygen. The phenomenon has deep implications concerning the catalytic behavior of NP Au foams in particular, and more in general for the design of more efficient catalysts. Aimed at gaining deeper insight into the mechanisms governing surface segregation, we exposed NP Au foams containing residual Ag to a mixture of gaseous carbon monoxide and oxygen at different temperature. Structural and surface composition analyses pointed out the concomitant occurrence of both NP Au coarsening and Ag surface segregation processes. Experimental findings suggest for Ag surface segregation a two-stage kinetics. During the initial, rapid coarsening of the NP Au structure, Ag surface segregation is mediated by surface rearrangements, which allow the Ag atoms to reach the surface at anomalously fast rate. As coarsening decelerates, the slower diffusion of buried Ag atoms towards the surface predominates, due to favorable chemical interactions with adsorbed oxygen. This novel mechanism's understanding can benefit strategic areas of science and technology.
