preparation example Construction

[0036] An aspect of the embodiments of the present invention provides a method for preparing aerogel powder, which includes:

[0037] Provide a hydrogel, crush the hydrogel, and then disperse it in water to form a gel fluid or gel dispersion;

[0038] Using an atomizing device to atomize the gel fluid or gel dispersion to form gel droplets, and collect the gel droplets in a low-temperature container to obtain gel frozen particles;

[0039] The frozen gel particles are freeze-dried to obtain aerogel powder.

[0040] As one of the preferred embodiments, the hydrogel includes any of non-metal oxide hydrogels, metal oxide hydrogels, carbon-based hydrogels, polymer hydrogels and composite hydrogels One or a combination of two or more, but not limited to this. These hydrogels can be obtained commercially, or can be prepared in a suitable manner known in the industry. For example, you can refer to the literature: Functional Materials, 2009, 1(40): 151-153, Journal of Non-Crystalline Solids2...

Embodiment 1

[0170] (1) Preparation of silica hydrogel: mix 1 mole of water glass (wherein the content of silica is 26-28% by weight) and deionized water in a volume ratio of 1:2, then add 0.4 mole of water Dilute acid solution (10 -3 mol / L), stir evenly and let it stand overnight. After the gel is formed, it is then aged for 24 hours and replaced with deionized water 4 times to obtain the silica hydrogel.

[0171] (2) Atomizing the silica hydrogel: crushing the silica hydrogel in step (1) with strong mechanical stirring to obtain a silica hydrogel fluid for use. The silica hydrogel fluid was injected into the nozzle of the atomizer at a rate of 30 mL / h, and the droplets with a particle size of about 20 μm were obtained after atomization. The mist droplets are sprayed into the low-temperature container, and the temperature of the low-temperature container is as low as -60°C. After the mist droplets fall, they will freeze and freeze rapidly to obtain frozen particles.

Embodiment 2

[0176] (1) Preparation of graphene hydrogel: Disperse graphene oxide in deionized water by ultrasound, centrifuge at 1500r / min for 40min, collect the supernatant, and then centrifuge the supernatant at 8000r / min for 4h for concentration , Collect the lower dispersion system to obtain a graphene oxide aqueous solution with a concentration of 8 mg / mL, and then add 1% vitamin C to reduce to obtain graphene hydrogel.

[0177] (2) Atomizing the graphene hydrogel: After breaking the above-mentioned gel, it is injected into the nozzle of the atomizer at a rate of 30 mL / h, and atomized to obtain droplets with a particle size of about 80 μm. The mist droplets are sprayed into the low-temperature container, and the temperature of the low-temperature container is as low as -80°C. After the droplets fall, they will freeze and freeze quickly to obtain frozen particles.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to an aerogel powder, in particular to an aerogel powder and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of nanoporous materials. Background technique [0002] Aerogel is a highly porous nanomaterial with excellent characteristics such as low density, high porosity, high specific surface area and low thermal conductivity. In particular, the low thermal conductivity of aerogel makes it good for thermal insulation Performance has great application value in the energy field, but it is very difficult to transform wet gel into aerogel. [0003] Currently, there are three common drying methods for preparing aerogels: supercritical drying, freeze drying, and atmospheric drying. For example, the literature (Nature, 1931, 127:741.). It was first proposed to use gas to replace the liquid in the wet gel. Since then, the supercritical drying method of replacing the organic solvent in the wet gel with the supercritical fluid ob...
