• reached. The annealing steps were conducted in a vacuum furnace at 700 °C and 10−5 mbar for 1 h. The resulting foil was cut into squares of 5 × 5 mm2. Dealloying The setup used for in situ dilatometry during electrochemical characterisation was similar to that described in an earlier work of our group [17
