Preparation and Characterization of SiO2-WO3 Composite Aerogel by Ambient Pressure Drying Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

Using sodium tungsten and industrial water glass as raw materials, SiO2-WO3 composite aerogels were prepared by ambient pressure drying process. The hexamethyldisilazane(HMDSZ)/hexamethyldisiloxane(HMDSO)/hexane mixing solution was used to modify the sol-gel-derived SiO2-WO3 wet gel. The microstructure, morphology and pore characteristics of the obtained SiO2-WO3 composite aerogels were investigated by XRD, SEM, FTIR and BET N2 adsorption-desorption analysis. The adsorption/photocatalytic degradation for Rhodamine B of SiO2-WO3 composite aerogel was investigated. The results indicate that mesoporous SiO2-WO3 composite aerogel with specific surface area 660.8 m2/g and pore volume 1.94 cm3/g could be prepared by using HMDSZ/HMDSO/hexane mixing solution to modify the wet gel. The obtained SiO2-WO3 composite aerogels have good adsorption/photocatalytic degradation for Rhodamine B than that of pure WO3 aerogel.
