A General and Straightforward Route to Noble Metal‐Decorated Mesoporous Transition‐Metal Oxides with Enhanced Gas Sensing Performance

Controllable and efficient synthesis of noble metal/transition-metal oxide (TMO) composites with tailored nanostructures and precise components is essential for their application. Herein, a general mercaptosilane-assisted one-pot coassembly approach is developed to synthesize ordered mesoporous TMOs with agglomerated-free noble metal nanoparticles, including Au/WO3 , Au/TiO2 , Au/NbOx , and Pt/WO3 . 3-mercaptopropyl trimethoxysilane is applied...
