Abstract
SiO2 aerogel is a three-dimensional network structure solid materials, with the characteristics of low density, low thermal conductivity, high light transmittance, high porosity, high specific surface area and so on, but also has the excellent performance of fireproof and waterproof. It is a rare light, environmental protection, multifunctional material, which has great application prospects in the broad field of building thermal insulation. With the objective of building energy saving, this paper briefly describes the research on SiO2 aerogels, discusses the possibility of large-scale production from preparation of diverse raw materials, raw materials and drying cost reduction and so on, focuses on the application progress in building insulation of SiO2 aerogel glass and SiO2 aerogel thermal insulation coatings; then, from the point of view of the excellent characteristics, this paper presents the application of a SiO2 aerogel material in building energy saving technology, and from the SiO2 aerogel materials in thermal insulation, waterproof, fireproof and simplifying the construction process and other advantages, constructs the application system that SiO2 aerogel materials replace the current thermal insulation material in building energy saving. At last, it makes a conclusion and expectation of the SiO2 aerogel materials application prospect in building thermal insulation.
