Eco-Friendly Synthesis of Water-Glass-Based Silica Aerogels via Catechol-Based Modifier
Silica aerogels have attracted much attention owing to their excellent thermal insulation properties. However, the conventional synthesis of silica aerogels involves the use of expensive and toxic alkoxide precursors and surface modifiers such as trimethylchlorosilane. In this study, cost-effective...
