Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, the surface of alumina aerogels directly prepared without treatment contains a large number of hydrophilic hydroxyl groups, which makes them easy to absorb moisture in the air and break easily when exposed to water, which affects their acoustic, optical, electrical and other properties, thus It limits the use occasions of airgel and affects the application of airgel in actual production and life.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of preparation of inorganic oxides, in particular to a low-density hydrophobic Al 2 o 3 Airgel preparation method. Background technique [0002] Airgel is a nanoporous network structure formed by the aggregation of ultrafine particles or polymer molecules, and a highly dispersed solid material filled with a gaseous dispersion medium in the pores. Its porosity is extremely high (80% to 99.8%) ), the pore size distribution is on the order of nanometers (1nm~100nm). It is currently the lightest solid material in the world, with a density as low as 0.002g / cm 3 , known as "frozen smoke" by people; it is currently the solid material with the best thermal insulation performance in the world, and its thermal conductivity in vacuum at room temperature can be as low as 0.001W / (m·K). In addition, there are many excellent characteristics, such as low refractive index, low electrical conductivity, low sound propagation velocit...
