The invention relates to the technical field of materials adaptive to extreme environments, and discloses cross-scale gradient co-doped multifunctional composite
aerogel as well as a preparation method and application of the cross-scale gradient co-doped multifunctional composite
aerogel. The multifunctional composite
aerogel is co-doped with
ultraviolet light-screening agent nano-particles,
infrared light-screening agent nano-particles and functional nano-particles in a cross-scale gradient manner, and is used for performing selective
filtration and full-spectrum regulation and control on
sunlight penetrating through the transparent aerogel; the
ultraviolet light-screening agent particles are
titanium dioxide nano particles; the
infrared opacifying agent particles are
indium tin oxide nanoparticles; and the functional nanoparticles are
silver nanorods. The composite aerogel provided by the invention improves the anti-
ultraviolet performance and high-temperature heat insulation performance of the aerogel and provides a function of enhancing
photosynthesis of plants, and meanwhile, the
transmittance of the transparent aerogel in the visible light band of
sunlight is not obviously reduced.
