Formation of three-dimensional bicontinuous structures via molten salt dealloying studied in real-time by in situ synchrotron X-ray nano-tomography

Understanding how pores evolve in metals submerged in molten salts is important for nanofabrication technology and molten salt corrosion in nuclear and solar power plants. Here, the authors present an in situ X-ray 3D imaging to directly visualize and quantify the process.
