摘要
A copper-doped silica composite aerogel with high specific surface area was prepared using a sol-gel method at ambient pressure. A drying control chemical additive (DCCA) N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) was introduced to the composite sol of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and copper nitrate (Cu(NO3)2·3H2O) during the synthesizing process. The influence of the preparation conditions including Cu loading, catalyst concentration and heat treatment on the structure of copper-doped silica was investigated. The results showed that the obtained aerogel particles were uniformly distributed. The pore diameter was in a range of 2 to 15 nm. Heavier Cu loading benefited the formation of CuO crystalline, and reduced the specific surface area and pore diameter. When the catalyst concentration was high, the aggregation of Si-O network was reduced with the increase of it. The composite aerogel exhibited a good thermal stability after the heat treatment at high temperature.
