Chinese patent application CN101468798A uses 8nm silica sol to dehydrate the gel at 100-200°C, after aging, dry it under normal pressure at 30-80°C to obtain a density of 3-30mg/cm 3 Silica airgel, the obtained ultra-low density airgel is powder, which greatly limits its application range
[0004] Chinese patent applications CN107021496A and CN110183198A use silica sol and fiber or foam matrix to carry out composite reinforcement to obtain a density lower than 28 mg/cm 3 Enhanced ultra-low-density airgel, but due to the introduction of a skeleton or a reinforced matrix with too large pores, the composite airgel cannot be used for the soft landing of high-energy particles on the one hand, and on the other hand, it basically does not have light transmission, which limits its application in deep space exploration
Chinese patent application CN110553470A improves the supercritical drying process, by introducing the first organic solvent, the second organic solvent and supercritical carbon dioxide for graded solvent replacement,

Abstract

The invention relates to high-strength ultralow-density transparent silicon dioxide aerogel as well as a preparation method and application thereof. The method comprises the following steps: pre-hydrolyzing silicon ester and a structure enhancer monomer to obtain a silicon source precursor; carrying out sol-gel reaction on the silicon source precursor and an alkaline amino acid solution to obtainwet gel; soaking the wet gel in an alcoholic solution of a photoinitiator for ultraviolet radiation to obtain inorganic-organic dual-network structure enhanced wet gel; and carrying out solvent replacement and supercritical drying on the wet gel to obtain the high-strength ultralow-density transparent silicon dioxide aerogel. The prepared aerogel has the density of 5-70 mg/cm < 3 >, the light transmittance of 85%-91% and the compression strength of 0.8-2.6 MPa, solves the problem that high strength, ultralow density and high transparency cannot be achieved at the same time, and has huge application value in the fields of deep space exploration, high-energy physics, super-transparent heat insulation, solar heat collection systems and the like.
