Abstract Creating 3D porous inorganic nanowire aerogels using various materials and inexpensive means remains an outstanding challenge despite their importance for many applications. Here, we present a facile methodology to enable highly porous inorganic nanowire aerogel production on a large scale and at low cost. The aerogels are obtained from in situ hydrothermal synthesis of one dimensional (1D) nanowires that directly form a cross-linking network during the synthesis process. Such a method not only offers great simplicity but also allows the interconnecting nanowires to have much longer length. The longer length offers aerogels with remarkable porosity and surface area extremely low densities are mechanically robust, and can have superelasticity by tuning the synthesis conditions. The nanowires in the aerogels serve both as structural support and active sites which greatly augmented their applications in environmental, catalysis, sensing, absorption, energy storage, and beyond.
