Ambient-Dried Silica Xerogels with Enhanced Strength and Thermal Insulation via Calcium Ion-Glycerol Synergistic Crosslinking

Ambient-Dried Silica Xerogels with Enhanced Strength and Thermal Insulation via Calcium Ion-Glycerol Synergistic Crosslinking

Despite their high porosity and wide applicability, silica xerogels face mechanical strength limitations for high-performance applications. This study presents an ambient-pressure sol-gel strategy utilizing calcium-glycerol synergy to produce robust xerogels with enhanced properties. Physicochemical...
