Abstract:

It was reported that the removal of acac ligands can be accelerated by soaking polyacetylacetonato-zirconium(PAZ) wet gel in organic silane(tetramethyl orthosilicate, tetraethyl orthosilicate) or organic borane(triethyl borate). Moreover, it was confirmed that soaking wet gel in siliane(borane) can accelerate the removal of acac ligands through infrared spectrum, elemental analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, chromatography-mass spectrometry, etc. Meanwhile, the mechanism was be deduced. By soaking PAZ wet gel in organic silane, the gel skeleton was strengthened as well. Therefore, nanoporous ZrO2 aerogels with high specific surface area could be obtained by inexpensive drying techniques. In addition, to prepare the ultra-lightweight silica fiber/zirconia aerogel(SFZA), the ZrO2 aerogel matrix was also composite with ultrafine quartz fiber, which further prevents drying shrinkage. Based on the plate heat flow method the lowest thermal conductivity coefficient of the SFZA was 0.042 and 0.063 W?m-1?K-1 at 1000 and 1200 ℃, respectively.
