Pore genius: Sb2Te3 hexagonal nanoplates can be transformed into 3D porous network-structured Te plates by the dissolution of Sb3+ ions induced by tartaric acid (TA), the O2-assisted oxidation of Te2− ions to Te0, and a subsequent Ostwald ripening process (see picture). These Te plates can be adopted as templates for the synthesis of 3D porous nanothread-based (or nanotube-based) metal and metal telluride nanoplates.
