The invention relates to light
silicon dioxide
aerogel with ultrahigh transparency and ultralow
haze as well as a preparation method and application of the light
silicon dioxide
aerogel. The method comprises the steps of preparing a
microreactor; preparing ultra-small silica
sol in the
microreactor by adjusting the flow velocity of a
silicon source precursor,
fluorocarbon oil and a catalyst phase and the pipeline
reaction temperature; quickly stirring a mixture containing silica
sol liquid drops and an oil dispersion phase, standing for layering, quickly freezing, and separating out a silica
sol phase; and adding a gel accelerator into the silica sol to obtain wet gel, and carrying out aging,
solvent replacement and
supercritical drying to obtain the light silica
aerogel with ultrahigh transparency and ultralow
haze. The nano-particle size of the
prepared material is adjustable in a range of 5-10 nm, the highest light
transmittance can reach 94.2%, the lowest
haze can reach 4.7%, and the light
silicon dioxide aerogel shows ultrahigh transparent quality and is widely applied to the fields of transparent heat insulation building glass,
solar heat collection systems, Cherenkov detectors, deep space high-speed
particle capture and the like.
