NiO-Based Aerogels—Unexpected Formation of Metallic Nickel Nanoparticles during Supercritical Drying Process

The aim of the study is to investigate the influence of the solvents applied both in sol–gel process and for supercritical drying (SCD) on NiO aerogels’ properties. NiO aerogels were synthesized using methanol and 2-methoxy-ethanol (MeGl) as sol solvents. SCD was performed using iso-propanol, methan...
