Unveiling reductant chemistry in fabricating noble metal aerogels for superior oxygen evolution and ethanol oxidation

Non-efficient gelation methods for noble metal particles limit the development of the corresponding gel materials. Here the authors describe the role of reductants, unlocking ligand chemistry, and largely expanding the composition space of noble metal aerogels for high-performance electrocatalysis.
