Article Synopsis
- A series of new MC/P25 composite aerogels (MCAPs) was created using sol-gel methods and CO supercritical drying technology.
- The optimized MCAP showed a significant increase in photocatalytic performance, achieving an AO7 degradation rate of 0.01746 min, which is 6.6 times faster than P25 alone.
- The enhanced performance is attributed to hydrogen bonds between microcrystalline cellulose and P25, which improve electron transfer and reduce the recombination of photogenerated carriers, while also enhancing the photocatalyst's stability.
Polyimide (PI) aerogel is a good thermal insulation material with the highest temperature resistance in practical application. But the mechanical strength of PI aerogels prepared by freeze-drying or thermoimide methods is weak. In this research, TPU was selected as an aging solution to solve the problem of the low mechanical strength of PI aerogel prepared by the freeze-drying method.

However, it is still a challenge to reduce the thermal conductivity while improving its mechanical strength and retaining hydrophobicity. Herein, the PI/thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) composite aerogel was synthesized by coupling TPU with PI via a novel method of chemical imidization combined with freeze-drying technology.
