Résumé

In the current study we show that the combustion of sol-gel derived alcogels with specifically tailored composition leads to the release of silica nanoparticles from the burning alcogel in a controlled manner which enables direct deposition of the released nanoparticles into low-density silica thick films. The process has some similarities to flame spray pyrolysis but requires no aerosol generator or other sophisticated instrumental setup. By the proper choice of catalysts and mixture of silicon alkoxides for the synthesis of the alcogel, preferential hydrolysis and polycondensation of one of the alkoxides is achieved. This leads to the formation of an alcogel with volatile silica precursor trapped in the gel pores. Resulting alcogels were burned to deposit uniform porous silica films with density of ~0.1 g/cm
