Preparation and evaluation of Au nanoparticle–silica aerogel nanocomposite

A Au nanoparticle–silica aerogel nanocomposite was prepared by the gelling of a tetramethyl orthosilicate (TMOS)/ethanol solution together with Au nanoparticles and drying the wet gel in supercritical carbon dioxide. The aerogel nanocomposite contained Au nanoparticles at a concentration of 0.268 pp...
