Transition metal salts were added to aerogels of TiO2–SiO2mixtures. The resulting M–TiO2–SiO2(M = transition metal, in general present in the form of oxides) materials had very high surface areas (600–1000m2/g) and pore volumes (1–4cm3/g), and contained highly dispersed transition metal oxides. Several samples were active photocatalysts for acetaldehyde oxidation to carbon dioxide using visible light; in particular chromium, cobalt, and nickel. These intimate aerogel mixtures were only active when SiO2was present (i.e. M–TiO2aerogels were not). High oxidation states of the transition metal ions (e.g. Cr6+, Co3+) appear to be important in bringing about visible light photocatalyst activity.
