There are many types of oxide aerogels and they have broad application prospects.

Oxide aerogel is a type of inorganic aerogel. It is usually prepared by using alkoxides or salts as precursors and using an acid-base two-step catalytic method. Oxide aerogels have the dual advantages of oxides and aerogels, namely light weight, high porosity, and high specific surface area, which expands the application range of aerogel materials. Oxide aerogel is one of the common and most researched aerogel materials currently on the market. Its downstream applications involve thermal insulation, petrochemical industry, construction materials, outdoor clothing, aerospace, automobiles, lithium batteries and other fields. .

There are many types of oxide aerogels, which are divided into single-element oxide aerogels, dual-element oxide aerogels, ternary oxide aerogels and metal oxide aerogels. Subdivided products include silica aerogels , alumina aerogel, ferric oxide aerogel, tin oxide aerogel, copper oxide aerogel, etc. Among many oxide aerogels, silica aerogel and alumina aerogel are the most studied.

According to the “2022-2027 Oxide Airgel Industry Market In-depth Research and Investment Prospect Forecast Analysis Report released by the Industrial Research Center It shows that in recent years, thanks to strong policy support and progress in preparation technology, the scale of my country’s airgel composite material industry has continued to expand. The current annual production capacity of airgel composite materials has reached about 300,000 square meters. The application of oxide aerogels is relatively mature, among which silica aerogels account for nearly 70% of the aerogel market share.

With the release of downstream demand, the preparation technology of various types of oxide aerogels has attracted more and more market attention. Take silica aerogel as an example. The raw materials of silica aerogel include functional silanes, silicon chloride, silica sol, water glass, etc. The preparation process involves sol-gel, aging, modification, drying and other links. , among which the mainstream drying processes include supercritical drying, normal pressure drying, etc. In terms of production, oxide aerogel-related manufacturers include Guangzhou Alison, Nano Technology, Chenguang New Materials, Hongbai New Materials, etc.

The global oxide aerogel market is mainly distributed in North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and other regions. my country’s oxide aerogel market started late, and the market is still in the growth stage.
