The present article reports the synthesis of silver nanoparticles in silica aerogel matrix by sub-critical drying technique. The catalytic performance of these nanocomposites was evaluated for the selective oxidation of benzene. Silica aerogel with 1, 5, 10 and 25 wt.% of silver was prepared and characterized for their physico-chemical characteristics. The catalytic performance of these samples was evaluated as a function of silver particle size crystallized within the aerogel matrix. The…

Growing CeO2 Nanoparticles Within the Nano-Porous Architecture of the SiO2 Aerogel
TLDR
Interestingly, the CeO2 nanoparticles undergo a very limited crystal growth, with sizes up to only 7 nm in the case of the sample subjected to a 900°C treatment, and the stability of the nanocomposites under high temperature conditions is demonstrated.
