Description

Aerogel and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of nano materials, and particularly relates to aerogel and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
All objects in nature radiate infrared rays. The magnitude of an object's ability to radiate infrared light is directly related to its surface temperature. Therefore, the infrared detector can measure the radiation difference between the target and the background no matter day or night, and infrared images of different objects are obtained. The existing infrared stealth technology principle is usually to change the target heat radiation characteristic, but most of the stealth materials have the defects of continuous energy consumption, narrow application range, slow reaction and the like.
In recent years, aerogel is widely studied as a nano-porous material with a controllable structure in the fields of heat insulation, energy storage, sound insulation and the like. The preparation of aerogels generally consists of a sol-gel process and a supercritical drying treatment. In the sol-gel process, nanoclusters with different structures are formed in a solution by controlling hydrolysis and polycondensation reaction conditions of the solution, the clusters are adhered to each other to form a gel, and the periphery of a solid skeleton of the gel is filled with a liquid reagent remaining after chemical reaction. In order to prevent the damage of the material structure caused by the surface tension in the micropore in the gel drying process, a supercritical drying process is adopted for treatment. However, the supercritical drying process has high requirements on equipment, and is not favorable for large-scale preparation of aerogel products at present.
With the development of nanotechnology, electrostatic spinning, as a simple, convenient and effective novel processing technology, will play a great role in biomedical materials, filtration and protection, catalysis, energy, photoelectricity, food engineering, cosmetics and other fields. Meanwhile, the preparation of the fiber aerogel by electrostatic spinning is a future development trend, and the fiber aerogel also occupies a place in the field of infrared stealth materials.
The silicon dioxide aerogel has the porosity as high as 80-99.8 percent due to the nano porous network structure, is the material with the best heat insulation performance so far, has wide application prospect in the fields of aerospace, petrochemical industry, electric metallurgy, building energy conservation, precise instruments and the like, and is a revolutionary substitute product of the traditional heat insulation material. Currently, most of silicon-based aerogels are prepared by a sol-gel method and a post-drying treatment, for example, CN101318659A discloses a method for preparing a silica aerogel composite material by atmospheric drying, which comprises the following steps: (1) Compounding the silicon dioxide sol and a reinforcing material, standing to form composite gel, and then aging; (2) And (3) performing hydrophobic modification on the aged composite gel by using a modifier, and then drying the modified composite gel under normal pressure to obtain the silicon dioxide aerogel composite material. The silica aerogel composite material prepared by the method has extremely low heat conductivity coefficient, the added value of a reinforcing material such as a fibrous body is greatly improved, the product can be widely applied to heat preservation, heat insulation and sound insulation aspects such as building heat preservation and sound insulation, industrial pipeline transportation and the like, and the application fields of silica and the fibrous body are expanded. CN111039295A discloses a one-step method for preparing silica aerogel, comprising: (1) Mixing and stirring a silicon source precursor A, a silicon source precursor B, a solvent and water to obtain a premixed solution; (2) Mixing a gel catalyst with the premixed solution, and carrying out a gel reaction to obtain silica wet gel; (3) And aging and drying the silica wet gel to obtain the silica aerogel. The silica aerogel has a good pore structure, a large specific surface area and low thermal conductivity. However, the products obtained by sol-gel processes and post-drying treatments are generally brittle and have a low porosity.
Therefore, the research on the silicon-based aerogel with higher porosity and better toughness has important practical significance.

and (3) porosity testing: the aerogels provided in examples 1-9 and comparative examples 1-3 were subjected to porosity testing according to the test method of GB/T33052-2016;
testing infrared stealth performance: average gray values were obtained from the IR thermographs of the output gray patterns of the aerogels provided in examples 1-9 and comparative examples 1-3 using a 320X 240 resolution IR imager. The smaller the average gray value is, the darker the image color is, the less the infrared radiation amount on the surface of the object is, and the better the infrared stealth performance is;
flexibility test: the aerogels provided in examples 1 to 9 and comparative examples 1 to 3 were clamped with a jig having a rubber gasket using a universal tester (model: instron 2367), and the jig interval was adjusted. The stretching and compression of the film is achieved by the up and down displacement of the clamps.

The test results are shown in table 1:
TABLE 1
Figure BDA0003066646130000121
Figure BDA0003066646130000131
According to the data in table 1, it can be known that polyvinyl alcohol is used as an electrospinning forming aid, and is beneficial to preparing the frustule-based fiber aerogel through an electrospinning process. Too low a content thereof is not favorable for molding, too low results in poor toughness of the aerogel (example 4), and too high results in reduced porosity and reduced stealth performance (example 5). The polyethylene glycol is used as the diatom shell dispersing agent, so that the diatom shells can be uniformly dispersed in the precursor solution, the uniformity and stability of the fiber aerogel can be improved, and the porosity and flexibility are further improved (embodiments 1-7 and 8). The alumina is used as an electrostatic spinning forming assistant, so that viscosity adjustment is provided, an acid environment is provided, rapid forming of the diatom shell based fiber aerogel is facilitated through an electrostatic spinning process, and the high content of the alumina can cause the excessive viscosity of a precursor solution and easily block pinholes; the viscosity was too low, which had little effect on the precursor solution and reduced the injection speed (spinning speed) (examples 1 to 5 and examples 6 and 7, comparative example 2). The diatom shells as the porous natural silica have high purity, and compared with the commercially available silica, the multi-level porosity of the diatom shells further improves the porosity of the aerogel, reduces the weight of the aerogel, and shows more excellent infrared stealth and flexibility (example 1 and comparative example 1). Compared with the aerogel prepared by a freeze-drying method, the aerogel prepared by the electrostatic spinning method provided by the invention has higher porosity, more excellent infrared stealth performance and better flexibility (examples 1 and 8).
The applicant states that the present invention is illustrated by the above examples of the process of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the above process steps, i.e. it is not meant that the present invention must rely on the above process steps to be carried out. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that any modification of the present invention, equivalent substitutions of selected materials and additions of auxiliary components, selection of specific modes and the like, which are within the scope and disclosure of the present invention, are contemplated by the present invention.
