The application provides a SiC
aerogel material, a preparation method and application thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: (1) taking
silicon powder as a
silicon source and a carbon-containing
halide as a
carbon source, mixing the
silicon powder and the carbon-containing
halide according to a proportion to obtain
raw material powder, and obtaining mixed powder after pretreatment; (2) placing the obtained mixed powder into a
combustion synthesis reaction kettle, then introducing high-purity
argon with a certain pressure, igniting the mixed powder to occur
combustion synthesis reaction through a
tungsten wire coil, and obtaining a carbon-rich SiC
aerogel block; and (3) oxidizing and removing carbon from the obtained carbon-rich SiC
aerogel block at a certain temperature to obtain a layered
nanowire-stacked SiC aerogel. The preparation method has the advantages of simple production process,
short cycle, easiness in large-scale production, cheap and easily-obtained raw materials, and the obtained SiC aerogel has the characteristics of
low density, high
porosity, large specific surface area, good
thermal stability and
chemical stability, and has a wide application prospect in the fields of heat insulation,
energy storage,
catalysis, environment,
electromagnetic wave absorption and
electromagnetic interference shielding.
