drying always cause signi cant shrinkage of the aerogel, and supercritical drying usually is of very high cost. Therefore, freeze-drying, a more economical and efficient method, is used to obtain carbon aerogel with lower linear shrinkage, homoge-neous microstructure, high mechanical property and low cost.
