Title: Preparation of SiO2—TiO2 composite aerogels and SiO2@TiO2 core-shell aerogels with high thermal stability and enhanced photocatalysis

Abstract

According to one inventive concept, a method for forming an aerogel includes forming a SiO2 gel, forming a mixture of the SiO2 gel and a TiCl4-derived precursor sol, wherein the TiCl4 sol is comprised of TiCl4 and a solvent, forming a SiO2/TiO2 wet gel, drying the SiO2/TiO2 wet gel, and heating the dried SiO2/TiO2 gel.
