Why is it important?

Porous copper, safe and low-cost, can reduce the amount of bacteria without antibacterial agent.

Perspectives

We did not show in this article, but porous copper also contained nanometer-size hydrogen bubbles, which may enhance some kind or another interaction. Linear Porous Metals seem to be the structure which have compactly-connected parallel reaction tubes. If linear porous magnesium applies to water-splitting reaction tube, it has the ability to produce hydrogen quickly.
