ABSTRACT
Using the knowledge domain visualization software CiteSpace, the intellectual structure evolution in the aerogel research during 1996-2015 has been mapped and detected. Our network analysis and visualization are based on the document co-citation clusters of 7729 bibliographic records retrieved from Web of Science (WOS). The results reveal the fundamental research clusters and the key literatures. Since 2010, most research efforts of aerogel research have made to the clusters of #0Siliga, #1Graphene, #5Cellulose, #6Deionization, and #9Supercapacitors. Recent two years, the hottest research frontier is carbon nanotubes and/or graphene based aerogels with custom three dimensional for particular applications.
