“…Using of nanocomposites leads to enhancement and modification of magnetic, optical, electrical and chemical properties as compared to their individual components [2][3][4]. The oxides of nanoparticles are an important class of semiconductors which find applications in magnetic storage [5], solar energy transformation [6,7], electronics [8] and catalysis [9]. In the present work, the choice of CuO as a parent material is due to the fact that it possesses excellent optical properties and high temperature superconductivity [10] which makes it a good candidate for solar cell applications.…”

Synthesis and characterization of a highly efficient photoconductive nanocomposite comprising of two common metal oxides: copper oxide (CuO) and silicon dioxide (SiO 2 ) are being reported in this paper. The CuO/SiO 2 nanocomposite has been synthesized using a cost-effective and facile sol gel route. The structural, chemical and optical properties of the prepared samples have been studied using various characterization techniques. The UV-Vis analysis revealed better absorption in the case of the nanocomposite as compared to its parent materials. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis has been employed to determine the structural formation of the nanocomposite and the crystallite size with the use of Scherrer's formula. The photo conductivity study of the sample showed enhanced photocurrent in the case of nanocomposite as compared to its single components, thus, presenting it as a potential candidate for solar cell applications, especially as photoanode material in the dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC).

“…Jiang et al [ 22 ] demonstrated an electroless deposition technique in penetrating the interstitial spaces of template (colloidal crystal) that was extendable to a variety of materials including Ni, Cu, Au, Pt, and Ag. Based on a similar technique, Huang et al [ 23 ] attempted to prepare nanoporous Ni by using degradable melamine-formaldehyde (MF) aerogels as a template and the surface area of the nanoporous Ni was 53.8 m 2 /g. Although these templates are often used for the preparation of nanoporous metals, it is difficult to obtain large-area continuous nanoporous metallic bulks or films.…”

Nanoporous metals with considerable specific surface areas and hierarchical pore structures exhibit promising applications in the field of hydrogen storage, electrocatalysis, and fuel cells. In this manuscript, a facile method is demonstrated for fabricating nanoporous Ni with a high surface area by using SiO2 aerogel as a template, i.e., electroless plating of Ni into an SiO2 aerogel template followed by removal of the template at moderate conditions. The effects of the prepared conditions, including the electroless plating time, temperature of the structure, and the magnetism of nanoporous Ni are investigated in detail. The resultant optimum nanoporous Ni with a special 3D flower-like structure exhibited a high specific surface area of about 120.5 m2/g. The special nanoporous Ni exhibited a promising prospect in the field of hydrogen storage, with a hydrogen capacity of 0.45 wt % on 4.5 MPa at room temperature.
