Abstract

ABSTRACTAerogels are a class of colloidal materials which have high surface areas and abundant mesoporous structure. SiO2 aerogels show unique physical, optical and structural properties. When catalytic metals are incorporated in the aerogel framework, the potential exists for new and very effective catalysts for industrial processes. Three applications of these metal-containing SiO2 aerogels as catalysts are briefly reviewed in this paper — NOx reduction, volatile organic compound destruction, and partial oxidation of methane.
