TLDR
The design of such a filigrane network requires the very careful control of chemical parameters and the reward is an assortment of different property profiles owing to the richness of possible variations.Abstract:
Air, air, air… and some solid skeleton; this is the basis for an interesting class of materials-the aerogels (shown schematically on the right). Can one therefore speak of "simple" chemistry? The design of such a filigrane network requires the very careful control of chemical parameters. The reward is an assortment of different property profiles owing to the richness of possible variations.read more

Hierarchical Polyaniline Spikes over Vegetable Oil derived Carbon Aerogel for Solid-State Symmetric/Asymmetric Supercapacitor
TL;DR: In this article, an environment friendly methodology for the synthesis of carbon aerogel (CA) using bio-mass (mustard oil) as precursor is reported, which is highly reproducible and economical yet devoid of any sophisticated procedure and hazardous organic/inorganic chemicals.

Zn(II), Pb(II), and Cd(II) adsorption from aqueous solution by magnetic silica gel: preparation, characterization, and adsorption
TL;DR: The adsorption kinetics data followed pseudo-second-order model and exhibited a three-stage intraparticle diffusion mode, and the Fe3O4-Si-COOH could be a kind of potential material for removing Pb(II, Zn(II), and Cd(II) from wastewater.

Dynamic spring-back behavior in evaporative drying of polymethylsilsesquioxane monolithic gels for low-density transparent thermal superinsulators
TL;DR: In this paper, an extended aging of wet gels in aqueous solution containing precursor-derived species is found to be crucial in obtaining crack-free, monolithic xerogels with sufficiently low thermal conductivity.
