Ambient pressure drying: a successful approach for the preparation of silica and silica based mixed oxide aerogels

Silica aerogels have received much attention in recent years as it has got a wide range of properties like high surface area, low density, high porosity, low dielectric constant, low thermal conductivity. Recently to make aerogels for commercial application ambient pressure drying has been preferred and also a cheap precursor like sodium silicate has been employed as the starting material instead of the alkoxides. In this review, attention will be given to the synthesis adopted for the preparation of silica and silica based mixed oxide/composite aerogels through ambient pressure drying. The properties of the prepared aerogels are also discussed in detail.     

Carbon Aerogel Films Synthesized at Ambient Conditions

Carbon aerogels derived from organic sol-gel process and supercritical drying are novel porous materials with interconnect structures and higher electrical conductivity, which are considered to be ideal electrode materials for supercapacitors and rechargeable batteries. The objective of the research was to synthesize carbon aerogel films at ambient conditions. Resorcinol formaldehyde (RF) and carbon aerogel films have been produced with extremely high RC ratio (molar ratio of resorcinol to catalyst) followed by subcritical drying. The structure of the porous films was investigated using electron scanning microscope. The specific surface area was measured by using nitrogen adsorption (BET) and electrical conductivity was measured with four-probe method. It was found that with extremely high RC ratio, the porous structure of RF and carbon aerogel films can be controlled from micro to macro porous at ambient conditions. With respect to the application as electrodes for fuel cells, carbon aerogel films with different porous structures on the two surfaces have been also obtained through optimizing the sol-gel process.

Studies on Highly Porous Hybrids Prepared by a Novel Fast Gellation Process Under Ambient Pressure

Supercritical drying of hydrolyzed alkoxysilanes is a typical method for making aerogels that exhibit over 75% porosity. Recent works demonstrated the possibility to prepare, under ambient pressure, aerogel-type of highly porous materials. However, multiple step process is being required for surface modification of pore walls to avoid collapsing effect caused by drying shrinkage. We wish to describe in here a novel fast, single step sol-gel route for the preparation of ultra high porous materials. Commercially available hydrogensilsesquioxane was used as precursor in this approach, leading through a simple, single step process to gels within minutes and thus without any further surface modification needed. Systematic studies of this novel fast gellation process were carried out through careful variation of experimental conditions to gain porosity control and enable improved design of this class of ultra high porous monolithic materials.     

An Easy Way To Prepare Monolithic Inorganic Oxide Aerogels

Inorganic oxide aerogels have unique thermal, optical, electrical, magnetic, and chemical properties, which result in them potentially having a broad range of applications. However, their preparation is commonly based on a supercritical drying method, which greatly limits real applications of aerogels and their commercialization. Here we demonstrate a general method for drying wet gels to form aerogels that is based on the sublimation of organic solvent. The organic solvent must have a low surface tension, undergo sublimation easily, and have a high freezing point to allow the rapid synthesis of monolithic inorganic oxide aerogels under vacuum conditions. This cost‐effective process will facilitate application of aerogel materials. This approach may also be used for the preparation of other porous materials, whose theoretical and practical applications should be investigated.     

Preparation of transparent,monolithic silica xerogels with low density

A new process to make monolithic and transparent silica xerogels with similar properties as silica aerogels by drying at ambient pressure has been studied. The xerogels are produced by strengthening the gel structure by additional precipitation of silica after the initial gelation. The additional precipitation of silica is achieved by ageing the alcogels in solutions of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and the aging is followed by a relatively rapid drying (<48 h) at ambient pressure. Due to the increased strength of the alcogels it is shown that the shrinkage during drying can be reduced and hence low density xerogels are obtained even if new monomers are added.     

Transparent, hydrophobic composite aerogels with high mechanical strength and low high-temperature thermal conductivities

A facile one-step polymer-incorporation sol-gel process, together with a surface modification and an ambient pressure drying processes, was developed to prepare silica-poly(vinylpyrrolidone) composite aerogels. These composite aerogels are with high hydrophobicity (static contact angle >120 degrees), good mechanical strength (Young's modulus of bending >30 MPa), and low high-temperature thermal conductivity (0.063 W/m-K at 300 degrees C), which are critical characteristics for practical applications of aerogels, particularly in energy saving areas, for long-term usage and large scale production.     

Polyurea based aerogel for a high performance thermal insulation material

Less fragile lightweight nanostructured polyurea based organic aerogels were prepared via a simple sol–gel processing and supercritical drying method. The uniform polyurea wet gels were first prepared at room temperature and atmospheric pressure by reacting different isocyanates with polyamines using a tertiary amine (triethylamine) catalyst. Gelation kinetics, uniformity of wet gel, and properties of aerogel products were significantly affected by both target density (i.e., solid content) and equivalent weight (EW) ratio of the isocyanate resin and polyamine hardener. A supercritical carbon dioxide (CO₂) drying method was used to extract solvent from wet polyurea gels to afford nanoporous aerogels. The thermal conductivity values of polyurea based aerogel were measured at pressures from ambient to 0.075 torr and at temperatures from room temperature to −120 °C under a pressure of 8 torr. The polyurea based aerogel samples demonstrated high porosities, low thermal conductivity values, hydrophobicity properties, relatively high thermal decomposition temperature (~270 °C) and low degassing property and were less dusty than silica aerogels. We found that the low thermal conductivities of polyurea based aerogels were associated with their small pore sizes. These polyurea based aerogels are very promising candidates for cryogenic insulation applications and as a thermal insulation component of spacesuits.
