Problems solved by technology

Although the surface modification step can be omitted by the siloxane process with hydrophobic groups, a large amount of solvent exchange is required to replace the water in the wet gel to avoid drying shrinkage during atmospheric drying, which greatly increases the preparation cost and time.

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for quickly preparing hydrophobic silicon dioxide aerogel at low cost. The method comprises the following steps of (S1) mixing a silicon source, water and a surfactant evenly to obtain a precursor solution, adding an acid catalyst to the precursor solution, adjusting the pH value to be 3-4, and then hydrolyzing to obtain sol; and (S2) dropwise adding an alkali catalyst to the sol obtained in the step (S1), continuously stirring in the dropwise adding process, adjusting the pH value to be 6-7, and carrying out gel standing, ageing and ambient pressure drying to obtain the hydrophobic silicon dioxide aerogel. The method is low in cost, free of solvent exchange, short in production cycle and free of environmental pollution; and the prepared hydrophobic silicon dioxide aerogel has good heat preservation and heat insulation properties, hydrophobicity and flexibility.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of silica airgel, in particular to a method for rapidly preparing hydrophobic silica airgel at low cost. Background technique [0002] Silica airgel is a lightweight nanoporous material with high porosity, large specific surface area, low density and low thermal conductivity. These characteristics make silica airgel materials useful in thermal, acoustic, optical, microelectronics , particle detection has very broad application potential. At present, the main problem of silica airgel is that the preparation cost is too high. Traditionally, the preparation of silica airgel needs to adopt supercritical drying process. However, supercritical drying requires the use of autoclave, and the process is complicated. High, and there is a certain degree of danger, so the atmospheric pressure drying process has gradually become the focus of everyone's attention. [0003] As early as the 1990s, Deshpande and Douglas of ...
