Abstract

Zirconia-silica composite aerogels are porous gel materials that possess excellent thermal insulation and flame retardancy, and have been widely applied in the field of chemical production. However, during the preparation process of zirconia-silica composite aerogels, raw materials dominated by zirconia sol may undergo violent temperature-varying reactions, which are likely to adversely affect the structural stability of zirconia-silica composite aerogels under high-temperature conditions. Therefore, how to use zirconia sol materials to prepare qualified industrial raw materials of zirconia-silica composite aerogels should be regarded as the key to the innovation of chemical material technology.
