Claims24
A metal aerogel, comprising:
- a plurality of metal nanowires formed into a porous three-dimensional structure, wherein the metal nanowires have welded junctions at intersections of the metal nanowires,
- wherein pores in the structure are anisotropic.
A metal aerogel, comprising:
- a plurality of metal nanowires formed into a porous three-dimensional structure,
- wherein the metal nanowires have welded junctions at intersections of the metal nanowires,
- wherein pores in the structure are primarily aligned along a longitudinal axis of the three-dimensional structure.
