Preparation of SiO2 aerogel by water glass: effect of different sodium removal methods on aerogel properties
Removal of Na+ is a very important step in the SiO2 aerogel preparation using water glass as precursor, which has a significant effect on the structure and properties of aerogel. In this study, three methods (Solution-crystallization, Water washing, and Ion exchange) were used to remove Na+ from the system and investigated the effects of different methods on the aerogel properties. The results show that all three aerogels have low bulk density (<0.075 g/cm3), low thermal conductivity (≤0.015 W/(m·K)), and well hydrophobicity (θ ≥ 137°). Among them, Na+ exists in the sol in the sodium removal process by water washing and effects the uniformity of gel network. The samples for sodium removal by solution-crystallization show better hydrophobicity and poorer high-temperature stability, which is related to the presence of abundant hydrophobic groups (Si-OC2H5) on the gel surface. The microstructure and the pore size distribution of the aerogels prepared by ion exchange are uniform, which makes them have optimal comprehensive performance. The mechanism of solution-crystallization effect in the process of sodium removal was explored, providing a workable idea for low-cost preparation of SiO2 aerogel.
期刊介绍:
The primary objective of the Journal of Sol-Gel Science and Technology (JSST), the official journal of the International Sol-Gel Society, is to provide an international forum for the dissemination of scientific, technological, and general knowledge about materials processed by chemical nanotechnologies known as the "sol-gel" process. The materials of interest include gels, gel-derived glasses, ceramics in form of nano- and micro-powders, bulk, fibres, thin films and coatings as well as more recent materials such as hybrid organic-inorganic materials and composites. Such materials exhibit a wide range of optical, electronic, magnetic, chemical, environmental, and biomedical properties and functionalities. Methods for producing sol-gel-derived materials and the industrial uses of these materials are also of great interest.
