Abstract

Activated carbon was modified with silica aerogel by the Sol-Gel. The surface characteristics and structure of activated carbon modified by the silica aerogel were characterized with N2 adsorption method, Scanning Electron Microscope and Thermal Analysis. The experiment results show that the silica aerogel can be used to modify activated carbon for the preparation of composite. SiO2 aerogel can effectively cover holes in the activated carbon, specific surface area of activated carbon composite modified by SiO2 aerogel was between activated carbon and silica aerogel. When MSiO2: MC is 1:3, specific surface area of the composite was 758.638 m2/g; When MSiO2:MC is 1:2, specific surface area of the composite was 760.38 m2/g; When MSiO2:MC is 1:1, specific surface area of the composite was 862.755 m2/g.
