Abstract

Aerogels constitute a unique class of nanostructured materials. They possess a three-dimensional network of nanometer-sized solid particles within a continuous mesoporous volume. The materials have low density and high surface area and only recently have they begun to be explored as electrochemically active materials. This chapter reviews the importance of aerogel nanoarchitecture in achieving high-performance electrochemical properties. Results obtained with vanadium oxide aerogels are highlighted as these materials exhibit a number of desirable characteristics for secondary lithium batteries.
