Silicon imidonitride aerogel exhibiting macro- and meso-dual porosity

Silicon imidonitride aerogel exhibiting macro- and meso-dual porosity
Silicon imidonitride aerogel exhibiting macro- and meso-dual porosity
Porous silicon imidonitride aerogels have been produced by combining a sol–gel process based on [Si(NH2)(NMe2)3] and ammonia that is known for producing xerogels with controlled mesoporosity, with a supercritical drying process using diethylamine to minimize collapse of the gel structure. The silicon imidonitride aerogel product takes the form of a porous monolith exhibiting two populations of pores in a hierarchical structure. The mesopores can be linked to the precursor system employed, whilst the macropores are consistent with the porosity of related aerogel systems.

Abstract

Porous silicon imidonitride aerogels have been produced by combining a sol–gel process based on [Si(NH2)(NMe2)3] and ammonia that is known for producing xerogels with controlled mesoporosity, with a supercritical drying process using diethylamine to minimize collapse of the gel structure. The silicon imidonitride aerogel product takes the form of a porous monolith exhibiting two populations of pores in a hierarchical structure. The mesopores can be linked to the precursor system employed, whilst the macropores are consistent with the porosity of related aerogel systems.
