Aerogel-coated metal nanoparticle colloids as novel entities for the synthesis of defined supported metal catalysts
Nanometer metal particles of tailored size (3-5 nm) and composition prepared via inverse microemulsion were encapsulated by ultrathin coatings (<2.5 nm) of inorganic porous aerogels covered with surface -OH groups. These composite materials formed metastable colloids in solvent(s), and the or...
