However, the preparation process of the pure silica gel is complicated, the process requirement is high, the cost is high, the mechanical property is extremely poor, and the aerogel fiber composite felt and the aerogel fiber composite board which are prepared by the compression molding process or the integral molding process are mainly used for large-scale industrialized application at present.
The chitosan is used as a renewable biological alkaline polysaccharide polymer, is rich in amino, hydroxyl and other active groups, has the characteristics of wide sources, degradability, good biocompatibility, antibacterial property and the like, and is widely applied to the fields of textile industry, environmental protection, medicine and the like. The chitosan aerogel prepared from chitosan is one of organic aerogel, and can be applied to the environmental protection fields of dye degradation, heavy metal ion adsorption and the like as an adsorption catalytic material. However, chitosan aerogel still has limited mechanical strength and poor thermal stability, and cannot further expand the mass production of aerogel blocks.

However, the existing preparation method of chitosan-silica hybrid aerogel generally adopts a preparation method of supercritical drying and normal-pressure drying, and the mechanical properties of the prepared hybrid aerogel are poor.

The normal pressure drying method avoids a series of defects of a supercritical drying process, but has the defects of long period, complex operation, large use amount of an organic replacement solvent, toxicity of a modified solvent and the like, and the volume shrinkage rate of the dried aerogel is larger, the integrity is not high, and the heat insulation performance is poor.
