Superfast Synthesis of Carbon Xerogels
Carbon xerogels (CXs) provide unique opportunities for numerous applications in the areas of adsorption, separation, insulation, catalysis, and electrochemistry, but their use is hampered by time- and energy-intensive synthesis protocols. Synthesis protocols may require several days or more. Here, we report the synthesis of CXs requiring only 5 h using

Low temperature superparamagnetic nanocomposites obtained by Fe(acac)3-SiO2-PVA hybrid xerogel thermolysis [PDF]
Fe(acac)3/silica/PVA hybrid xerogel nanocomposite was obtained by one pot acid catalysed sol-gel synthesis using the homogeneous mixture of iron(III) acetylacetonate (Fe(acac)3), tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS), and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA).

Controllable transport mean free path of light in xerogel matrixes embedded with polystyrene spheres [PDF]
Xerogel matrices, made by sol-gel techniques, are embedded with polystyrene spheres to promote multiple scattering of light. Varying the concentration of the spheres inside the matrix allows one to adjust the transport mean free path of light inside the ...

Nanoporous Xerogel for Adsorption of Pb2+ and Cd2+ [PDF]
Classical xerogels are robust, inexpensive and nontoxic materials with low-ordered nanoporous structures. In water streams where the pH is higher than the Point of Zero Charge, the surface of classical xerogels such as tetraethoxy orthosilan (TEOS ...
