ResumoThe microtexture, microstructure evolution and thermal insulation performance of carbon aerogels subjected to high-temperature treatment were investigated in detail. The results showed that carbon aerogels derived from resorcinol-formaldehyde (RF) resin were composed of fine particles and cavities, which consisted of typical non-graphitized carbon according to X-ray diffraction analysis. The microcrystallite size ( L a ) of the CAs increased from 4.49 nm to 6.92 nm, and the specific surface area ( S BET ) and the total pore volume ( V tal ) decreased from 727 to 290 m 2 /g and from 0.963 to 0.543 cm 3 /g, respectively, as the temperature increased from 900 °C to 1800 °C. The micropore-specific surface area and the micropore volume decreased with increasing treatment temperature, and a small amount of macropores ( > 50 nm) appeared at a temperature of 1500 to 1800 °C. The carbon aerogels retained their porous structure at higher temperature, which indicated that they hold potential for application in the field of thermal insulation in high-temperature environments.
