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