Via a sol‐gel process highly porous solids can be synthesized that consist of two homogeneous, isotropically distributed phases, i.e. a pore and a gel backbone phase. This route allows for an independent tuning of the specific surface area and the porosity over a wide range and thus provides model materials for a systematic investigation of complex effects.
