Abstract Using methyltriethoxysilane (MTES) as the silicon source, water as the solvent, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as the surfactant, acetic acid and four different alkalis (urea, sodium hydroxide, ammonia water and tetramethylammonium hydroxide) as acid and base catalysts, sol-gel method and CO2 supercritical drying were used to prepare hydrophobic SiO2 aerogel. The effects of four different basic catalysts on the structure and properties of aerogels were comparatively studied. The results show that four different basic catalysts can prepare hydrophobic SiO2 aerogels with high transparency, high specific surface area, and flexibility, but different basic catalysts have different effects on the structure and properties of the prepared samples. The sample prepared with urea has the highest specific surface area (630 m2/g), transmittance (81.5%) and hydrophobic angle (162.3°), the lowest density, but poor mechanical properties;the maximum stress (0.171 MPa) and rebound rate (29.3%) of the sample prepared with sodium hydroxide are the highest;the sample prepared with tetramethylammonium hydroxide has the lowest thermal conductivity (19.9 mW·m-1·K-1), and its gel skeleton is formed by agglomeration of secondary particles with a diameter of about 10 nm, and this is significantly different from the pearl chain structure of the gel skeleton prepared by the other three base catalysts.
