Nanoporous Gold Membranes as Robust Constructs for Selectively Tunable Chemical Transport

Nanopores are promising structures for small-volume separations, but they often require complex top-down fabrication and are not easily (re)configurable to allow for dynamically tuned separations. Herein we report the first use of nanoporous gold (NPG) membranes as tunable, charge-based separation elements. NPG is fabricated into a robust network of interconnecting pores via simple solution de-alloying. We demonstrate that control over the...
