The invention belongs to the technical field of carbon
aerogel, and particularly relates to phenolic resin-based carbon
aerogel and a preparation method thereof.The preparation method comprises the following steps that 1, phenolic resin is prepared, specifically, a phenolic compound and an
aldehyde compound are added into a reaction kettle for a reaction, a catalyst is added for continuous stirring, the
heating temperature and stirring time of the reaction kettle are controlled, and phenolic resin is prepared; phenolic resin is obtained; 2, phenolic resin treatment: taking out the prepared phenolic resin, adding an
organic solvent, and stirring to prepare a phenolic resin solution; step 3,
gel preparation: putting the
mixed solution into a reaction kettle, adding an
organic solvent, continuously heating, then stopping heating, and cooling a high-pressure kettle to obtain organic
aerogel; step 4, gel treatment: activating the organic carbon material to form a carbon aerogel precursor, and activating and cleaning the surface by adopting a normal pressure
plasma technology; the organic aerogel is added into a
cracking furnace, protective gas is added, the
cracking furnace is heated, heat preservation is conducted, cooling is conducted, and the carbon aerogel is obtained.The newly-prepared phenolic resin is adopted, it is avoided that the quality of the phenolic resin is affected by long-time storage, the
organic matter is added, and the carbon aerogel is prepared by carbonizing the
organic matter after activating treatment; therefore, the forming quality of the carbon aerogel is guaranteed.
