Abstract
⺠We explore a novel route to prepare hydrophobic and highly stable silica aerogels. ⺠A two-step surface modification via ambient pressure drying was adopted. ⺠Both the surface and bulk modifications of silica network can be accomplished through this method. ⺠We also discuss the possible mechanism of surface modification.
