Ultra-low-density silver aerogels via freeze-substitution

Herein is reported a method for fabricating <10 mg/cm3 silver aerogels via the freeze casting of aqueous nanowire suspensions followed by freeze substitution and supercritical drying. This method overcomes the limitations of traditional freeze drying and yields highly uniform, crack-free monolith...
