Synthesis of ruthenium dioxide-titanium dioxide aerogels: redistribution of electrical properties on the nanoscale

摘要

High-surface area RuO_2-TiO_2 is an important material for catalytic and power source technologies. To create this mixed oxide as a nanoscale, high-surface-area material, we have synthesized electrically conductive aerogels of Ru_nTi_(1-n)O_x via sol-gel chemistry and supercritical drying of the resulting gel.
