Problems solved by technology

Due to the existence of ions, this method greatly slows down the speed of surface silanization treatment. It is only suitable for the preparation of airgel powder, and the application field is very limited. Due to the incomplete removal of ions, there are still a large amount of residues in the gel powder. Ions, salting-out phenomenon is very easy to occur during storage, resulting in SiO 2 Airgel powder is of low quality and poor performance
