Method of preparing metal oxide-silica composite aerogel and metal oxide-silica composite aerogel prepared by the same

摘要

Provided is a method of preparing a metal oxide-silica composite aerogel and a metal oxide-silica composite aerogel having an excellent weight reduction property prepared by the method. The method comprises adding an acid catalyst to a first water glass solution to prepare an acidic water glass solution (step 1); adding a metal ion solution to the acidic water glass solution to prepare a precursor solution (step 2); and adding a second water glass solution to the precursor solution and performing a gelation reaction (step 3).
