Decades of research have been devoted to studying the properties of nanostructured materials eg, single crystalline wires, porous materials, polycrystals and laminates for applications ranging from heterogeneous catalysts to highstrength structures. 1 Interest in nanoscale materials is motivated by their new (and often enhanced) properties, which are attributed to large interfacial areas and high surface defect concentrations. 2 Nanoscale catalysts exhibit superior activities due to surface strains, increased population of dangling bonds, and unique surface electronic states established by surface/subsurface atomic interactions. 3, 4 For instance, bulk Au surfaces are relatively inert but Au nanoparticles exhibit excellent catalytic behavior. 1, 3 In a similar fashion, nanocrystalline metals possess exceptionally high yield strengths due to an increased barrier for plasticity mechanisms to operate in confined volumes and in close proximity to interfaces. 1, 2, 5 Unfortunately, fabrication techniques for these materials are frequently resource-intensive and cannot be translated into commercial-scale processing. One of the grand challenges in materials science is pivoting from observational science to control science at relevant time, length, and energy scales. 6 In other words, addressing the question: how can we efficiently fabricate nanostructured materials with unprecedented properties? The authors are tackling this issue of scalable processing by researching lowcost and low-energy methods, such as self-organization via dealloying. We define self-organization as the spontaneous emergence of a three-dimensional structure with a characteristic length scale and morphology. Dealloying, traditionally a corrosion phenomenon, is the selective dissolution of one or more element (s) from an alloy. 1, 7 Although reports on this process date as far back as Leonardo Da Vinci, 8 only recently have researchers identified it as an effective method to engineer nanoscale features (called ligaments) into a material. This nanoscale engineering can be understood by considering linear stability analysis (Figure 1): selective dissolution serves to roughen and perturb the surface. 9 If the surface mobility of the remaining elements is sufficiently high, dealloying drives the emergence of a percolating, three-dimensional structure with a characteristic ligament diameter and morphology. 7, 9 What excites the authors about this approach is that it is spontaneous and requires minimal energy expenditure beyond the initial alloy fabrication. 1, 7, 10 However, Figure 1 only illustrates the most simplistic embodiment of dealloying, and there are numerous kinetic and thermodynamic factors that can be harnessed to engineer pattern formation at the nanoscale some of which have been realized in the literature, but many more remain unexplored. This Viewpoint is intended to provide a perspective on the current state of selforganization via dealloying and what knowledge gaps remain to make this grand challenge a reality. For clarity, we have broken these knowledge gaps into distinct thrusts, Figure 2, whose individual aspects will be addressed in the following sections.
