Cast-In-Situ, Large-Sized Monolithic Silica Xerogel Prepared in Aqueous System

This paper reports the preparation of cast-in-situ, large-sized monolithic silica xerogels by a two-step acid–base catalyzed approach under ambient pressure drying. Low-cost industrial silica sol and deionized water were used as the silicon source and the solvent, respectively. Hexadecetyltrimethyla...
