Catalytic systems based on the incorporation of metal nanoparticles into insulating aerogels show great promise in optimizing multiple chemical reactions, including CO oxidation [1], contaminant remediation [2], and water splitting [3]. The method of incorporation of the metal particles within the aerogel host has important implications in the mechanism driving these various chemical pathways. Synthetic techniques to control the three-dimensional orientation of metals in insulating hosts are essential for understanding how catalytic reactions are affected by morphologically complicated yet chemically simple systems.
