PRODUCTION OF POROUS SOLIDS WITH EMBEDDED GASES TO BE USED AS SOLID-GAS NANOCOMPOSITE MATERIALS

CSIC has developed a method for the production of nanoporous solids that contain gas inside their pores. The method is based on magnetron sputtering, but gas consumption is lower in comparison with conventional sputtering methods carried out in dynamic regime. Experimentally, layers of controlled thickness of these nanocomposite materials have been successfully obtained. Gas consumption during the production of these solids was only 0.5% of gas consumption in conventional magnetron sputtering in dynamic regime.
