Abstract

Noble metals, despite their expensiveness, display irreplaceable roles in widespread fields. To acquire novel physicochemical properties and boost the performance‐to‐price ratio for practical applications, one core direction is to engineer noble metals into nanostructured porous networks. Noble metal foams (NMFs), featuring self‐supported, 3D interconnected networks structured from noble‐metal‐based building blocks, have drawn tremendous attention in the last two decades. Inheriting structural traits of foams and physicochemical properties of noble metals, NMFs showcase a variety of interesting properties and impressive prospect in diverse fields, including electrocatalysis, heterogeneous catalysis, surface‐enhanced Raman scattering, sensing and actuation, etc. A number of NMFs have been created and versatile synthetic approaches have been developed. However, because of the innate limitation of specific methods and the insufficient understanding of formation mechanisms, flexible manipulation of compositions, structures, and corresponding properties of NMFs are still challenging. Thus, the correlations between composition/structure and properties are seldom established, retarding material design/optimization for specific applications. This review is devoted to a comprehensive introduction of NMFs ranging from synthesis to applications, with an emphasis on electrocatalysis. Challenges and opportunities are also included to guide possible research directions in this field and promote the interest of interdisciplinary scientists.

  • Preparation and application of monometallic Ir, Rh, Ru, Os and their alloy aerogels are rarely reported compared to Au, Ag, Pd, Pt and their alloy aerogels.

    “in contrast to Au24, Ag25, Pd13, Pt26 and their alloy aerogels27,28 that have been extensively studied, the preparation and application of monometallic Ir, Rh, Ru, Os and their alloy aerogels are rarely reported15,29.”

    From Interstitial boron-triggered electron-deficient Os aerogels for enhanced pH-universal hydrogen evolution (2022) · cites this paper as [29]

    The Oxygen Evolution Reaction section (page unavailable) says Ru- and Ir-based gels are much harder to form than Au- and Pd-based gels. The review also discusses numerous Au, Ag, Pd and Pt aerogels, but the cited passages do not establish that preparations and applications of Rh- and Os-based aerogels, or alloys of all four metals, are rarely reported.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
