2 SiO 2 Aerogels
نویسنده
چکیده
This chapter focuses on one of the most studied aerogel materials, silica aerogels. It aims at presenting a brief overview of the elaboration steps (sol–gel synthesis, aging, and drying), the textural and chemical characteristics (aggregation features, porosity, and surface chemistry), the main physical properties (from thermal, mechanical, acoustical, and optical, to biological, medical, etc.), and a rather broad panel of related potential applications of these fascinating nanostructured materials. It cannot be considered as an exhaustive synopsis but must be used as a simple tool to initiate further bibliographic studies on silica aerogels.

Fast transporting ZnO-TiO2 coaxial photoanodes for dye-sensitized solar cells based on ALD-modified SiO2 aerogel frameworks.
A doubly coaxial photoanode architecture based on templated SiO(2) aerogels was fabricated on transparent conducting oxides for use in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). These templates were coated with ZnO via atomic layer deposition (ALD) to yield an electronically interconnected, low-density, high-surface-area, semiconductor framework. Addition of a thin conformal layer of a second metal ox...

متن کاملSynthesis and textural characteristics of organic aerogels, transition-metal-containing organic aerogels and their carbonized derivatives
Four organic aerogels were prepared by the sol-gel method from polymerization of resorcinol with formaldehyde catalyzed by Na CO . These aerogels were further pyrolyzed in N in order to obtain their corresponding carbon aerogels, 2 3 2 and after that activated with either steam or CO to obtain activated carbon aerogels. Another series of organic aerogels and 2 their pyrolyzed and activated deri...

Boron nitride (BN) aerogels are porous materials with a continuous three-dimensional network structure. They are attracting increasing attention for a wide range of applications. Here, we report the template-assisted synthesis of BN aerogels by catalyst-free, low-pressure chemical vapor deposition on graphene-carbon nanotube composite aerogels using borazine as the B and N sources with a relati...
