Abstract: | The Cu-doped SiO2 composite aerogels were successfully prepared by sol–gel process and subsequently supercritical drying with ethanol and CO2. The Cu-doped SiO2 composite aerogels had porous texture, low density (<100 mg cm?3) and high specific surface area (>800 m2 g?1), which were investigated by FESEM and nitrogen adsorption desorption porosimetry. The FTIR spectra of the aerogels showed that the ethanol-dried aerogels had been modified by ethyl while the corresponding CO2-dried aerogels had more Si–OH groups. The phase structure and thermal stability were investigated by XRD and TGA, respectively. Due to the reducibility of ethanol, the copper was crystalline in ethanol-dried sample. The Cu-doped SiO2 composite aerogels dried with supercritical ethanol had larger pore diameter and better thermal stability under 400 °C in comparison with CO2-dried composite aerogels. The structures and properties of Cu-doped SiO2 composite aerogels are obviously affected by supercritical drying conditions. The effect research could instruct the synthesis of different state of Cu in composite aerogels. |
