In this paper, aluminosilicate aerogels were used as scaffolds for silver nanoparticles to capture I2(g). The starting materials for these scaffolds included Na–Al–Si−O and Al–Si–O aerogels, both synthesized from metal alkoxides. The Ag0 particles were added by soaking the aerogels in aqueous AgNO3...
