Abstract
The present invention relates to 2D-material based composite materials such as aerogels and particularly, although not exclusively, to deposition of nanoparticles on 2D-material based aerogels. Also described are methods for manufacturing such materials.
Claims8
A method for producing a composite material, comprising the steps of
- (a) impregnating a 2D-material based aerogel with an impregnation solvent, to form a solvent impregnated aerogel;
- (b) performing a solvent/water exchange by washing the solvent impregnated aerogel with water, to replace impregnation solvent with water and form a water impregnated aerogel;
- (c) performing precursor diffusion by contacting the water impregnated aerogel with an electrolyte solution containing a deposition precursor, to form a precursor impregnated aerogel;
- (d) passing a current through a cell comprising the precursor impregnated aerogel as a working electrode.
