Abstract Due to the lower mechanical strength, the application potential of silica aerogel cement-based materials with excellent thermal insulation, fireproofing and lightweight properties was greatly under restriction. The characteristics of high activity and fast hydration speed of superfine cement could promote the growth of compressive and flexural strength. Therefore, the superfine cement was chosen as the cementitious material in this experiment, to prepare aerogel cement-based materials with the property of both thermal insulation and strength. Based on replacing the equal volume of sand by SiO2 aerogel particles, the fluidity, dry density, water absorption, thermal conductivity, mechanical properties, and microstructure of cementitious materials were investigated under the different dosages of silica aerogel (the volume of sand and aerogel was 60%). The results showed that with the increase of aerogel content from 0% to 60%, the material fluidity decreased by 7.3%—22.3%, and the dry density gradually decreased while the water absorption increased. The thermal conductivity in the saturated and dry state decreased separately from 2.58 W/(m·K) to 0.49 W/(m·K) and from 2.55 W/(m·K) to 0.24 W/(m·K), indicating a significant improvement on the perfor-mance of thermal insulation. The compressive strength and flexural tensile strength ranged from 66.3 MPa to 14.1 MPa, and from 12.9 MPa to 3.1 MPa, which was decreased by 76.0% and 78.7% respectively compared with the sample unincorporated aerogel. Based on the analysis of SEM and EDS, there was a gap between the aerogel particles and surrounding cement matrix, and the Ca/Si atomic number ratio between the gape ranged from 0.64 to 1.13. The product of alkali-silicate reaction was C-S-H (calcium silicate hydrate) between silica aerogel and ultra-fine cement pore solution, which was helpful to improve the strength of interfacial transition zone.
