    Aerogel Presentation

    This document discusses metal aerogels, a new type of aerogel made of inorganic metals rather than silica. Metal aerogels have high specific surface areas between 100-500 m2/g, are electrically conductive, and have enhanced catalytic activity while still providing surprisingly good thermal insulation. They can be manufactured through processes like combustion synthesis, dealloying, or nanosmelting. Potential applications of metal aerogels include hydrogen storage, antimicrobial scaffolds, magnetic media, and X-ray optics.

    Introducing
    Metal
    Aerogels!
    • Inorganic cousins of
    the more common
    Silica Aerogel
    • Until very recently,
    Metal Aerogels did not
    exist!

    http://www.aerogel.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/fenanofoam-lanl.jpg
    What are its properties?
     High specific
    surface area (100-
    500m2/g)
     Electrically
    conductive!
     Enhanced
    catalytic activity
     Surprisingly
    capable thermal
    insulator
