Problems solved by technology

The mesoporous or porous materials prepared by hydrothermal synthesis have certain particularities, but due to the limitations of the structure itself, such as insufficient porosity, insufficient specific surface area, too small pore size, and too high density, many properties of the material are still limited. It cannot reach the level of airgel, especially the thermal conductivity, adsorption performance, etc. Therefore, the prepared mesoporous materials are generally only used in the field of molecular sieve adsorption and filtration, and the application range is narrow

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing aerogel materials by combining hydrothermal synthesis technology and sol-gel technology. The prepared aerogel comprises one or more of alumina aerogel, silica aerogel, zirconia aerogel and titania aerogel. The method comprises the following steps: mixing a reactant and a structure-directing agent according to certain proportion, and adding a pH valuecontrol agent to adjust the pH value; sealing hydrothermal reaction equipment, heating the mixture to be between 50 and 280 DEG C, making the mixture stand for 0 to 72 hours, raising the temperature to be between 60 and 300 DEG C, and continuously reacting for 0.1 to 72 hours; and cooling gel, taking out the gel, drying the gel and obtaining the aerogel. Compared with the prior art, the method has low reaction temperature and pressure, small equipment investment and simple and controllable technology, reduces potential safety hazards, greatly improves the preparation speed of the aerogel, saves the production cost, and is favorable to realize commercial mass production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing airgel, in particular to a method for preparing airgel by a hydrothermal synthesis method, and belongs to the field of chemical material preparation. Background technique [0002] Airgel is a new type of low-density, high-porosity nanoporous material with controllable structure. It has a continuous network structure, nanoscale pore size and particle diameter. The material with the best thermal insulation performance so far. Because of its nanoporous structure (1-100nm), low density (1-500kg / m 3 ), low dielectric constant (1.1-2.5), low thermal conductivity (0.003-0.025w / m k), high porosity (80%-99.8%), high specific surface area (200-1000m 2 / g) and other characteristics, airgel is obviously different from its corresponding macroscopic glassy material, and has unique properties in mechanics, acoustics, heat, optics, etc., such as extremely low solid and gaseous thermal conductivity, low refractive index...
