Metal oxide aerogels with controlled crystallinity and faceting from the epoxide-driven cross-linking of colloidal nanocrystals

We present a novel method to produce crystalline oxide aerogels which is based on the cross linking of preformed colloidal nanocrystals (NCs) triggered by propylene oxide (PO). Ceria and titania were used to illustrate this new approach. Ceria and titania colloidal NCs with tuned geometry and crysta...
