Carbon Aerogel for Insulation Applications: A Review

Carbon based materials: a review of adsorbents for inorganic and organic compounds

“…279,280 Until now, aerogels have been divided based on matrix type into oxide aerogels, carbide aerogels, organic aerogels and CAs. 281 CAs as new form of mesoporous carbon material were considered to be highly attractive materials for adsorbents, catalyst supports, electrochemical capacitors and insulation materials. [282][283][284] In addition, CAs have very low thermal conductivity owing to their nano-sized pores and particle structures.…”

“…[282][283][284] In addition, CAs have very low thermal conductivity owing to their nano-sized pores and particle structures. 281 Carbonbased aerogels as three-dimensional (3D) structures includes CNT aerogels, graphene aerogels, carbon micro-belt aerogels and carbon fiber aerogels. 285,286 2.6.1 Synthesis of CAs.…”

Magnetic aerogel: an advanced material of high importance

“…Like silica aerogels, the carbon-based aerogels are one of the most studied aerogels with a basic focus on their application as a catalyst for dyes degradation and oil removal from water bodies, microwave absorption, electromagnetic interference and electroanalytical applications. [100][101][102][103] Magnetic carbon aerogels mostly involve calcination process which may or may not be followed by surface modication. In order to maintain the superparamagnetic behavior of the aerogel, the calcination temperature is maintained within the optimum range.…”

Ultralight hybrid silica aerogels derived from supramolecular hydrogels self-assembled from insoluble nano building blocks

“…Reviews on the comprehensive developments and applications of aerogels are also available. 13,14,[35][36][37] Aerogels and hydrogels could be considered as the same porous network in different stages, that hydrogels are lled with water in their pores while aerogels are lled with air in their pores. Therefore, there are plenty of similarities between hydrogels and aerogels, such as the same porous structure, and the same potential applications as catalyst support, water purication absorbent, and drug delivery system.…”
