A Metallic Ion‐Induced Self‐Assembly Enabling Nanowire‐Based Aerogels

The controlled assembly of nanowires is one of the key challenges in the development of a range of functional 3D aerogels with unique physicochemical properties for practical applications. However, the deep understanding of the dynamic assemble process for fabricating nanowire aerogels remains elusive. Herein, a facile strategy is presented for the metallic ion‐induced assembly of nanowires into macroscopic aerogels via a solution‐based process....
