“…SiO 2 /Ag composites have received considerable attention in conductivity, catalytic, adsorption and separation, biomedical and other fields, due to its optical, electrical, magnetic, and catalytic properties [10][11][12][13]. At present, a variety of methods of preparing SiO 2 /Ag composite have been developed, including chemical reduction method, micro-emulsion method, gel-sol method, template method, calcination method, adsorption method, and so on [14][15][16][17][18][19][20].…”
