摘要/Abstract

摘要： 二氧化硅气凝胶因其低密度、低导热系数和良好的高温稳定性,广泛应用于高温隔热领域,但由于其固有的材料特性,当工作温度超过600 ℃,其孔结构将逐渐塌缩,从而使隔热性能大幅度衰减,同时在高温下红外辐射的遮蔽效果也较差。本研究旨在探讨通过钙掺杂提高二氧化硅气凝胶的高温稳定性及红外遮蔽能力。以水玻璃和无水氯化钙为前驱体,以三甲基氯硅烷（TMCS）为疏水改性剂,通过溶胶-凝胶、水热和常压干燥（APD）技术制备了耐高温的钙掺杂二氧化硅气凝胶（CSA）粉体。研究了前驱体中Ca/Si摩尔比和水热条件（温度和pH）对钙掺杂二氧化硅气凝胶结晶特性、微观形貌和孔结构的影响。结果表明,在400~1000 ℃范围内,Ca/Si摩尔比和水热处理对钙掺杂二氧化硅气凝胶的微观结构和耐热性有显著影响。1000 ℃烧结的样品具有较高的比表面积（100.1 m²/g）和孔容（0.8705 cm³/g）,表明钙掺杂二氧化硅气凝胶具有良好的耐高温性能。温度高达600 ℃的单面隔热测试表明,Ca/Si摩尔比为1的样品隔热性能最好,冷表面温度为450 ℃,比纯二氧化硅气凝胶低27 ℃。

Abstract: Silica aerogel has a broad application in the field of high-temperature thermal insulation due to its low density, low thermal conductivity and high stability. However, its thermal insulation performance deteriorates significantly at elevated temperatures exceeding 600 ℃, primarily due to the collapse of pore structure. Meanwhile the shielding capacity of SiO₂ aerogel to the infrared radiation at high temperature is rather low due to the intrinsic properties of SiO₂. Herein, we explored to improve the high-temperature stability and infrared shielding properties of SiO₂ aerogel via Ca doping. Calcium-doped silica aerogel (CSA) powders were prepared by sol-gel, hydrothermal, and atmospheric pressure drying (APD) techniques using water glass and anhydrous calcium chloride as precursors and trimethylchlorosilane (TMCS) as a hydrophobic modifier. The effects of Ca/Si molar ratio in the precursor and hydrothermal conditions (temperature and pH) on the crystalline properties, microscopic morphology and pore structure of calcium-doped silica aerogels were investigated. The results show that the Ca/Si molar ratio and hydrothermal treatment have significant effects on the microstructure and heat resistance of calcium-doped silica aerogels in the temperature range of 400-1000 ℃. The samples sintered at 1000 ℃ have a high specific surface area of 100.1 m²/g and a pore volume of 0.8705 cm³/g, thereby indicating that the calcium-doped silica aerogel has good heat resistance. One-side insulation tests at temperatures up to 600 °C show that the sample with a Ca/Si molar ratio of 1.0 has the best insulation performance, with a cold surface temperature of 450 °C, which is 27 °C lower than that of the pure silica aerogel.
