This paper introduces and investigates a new two-step method by further addition of acid in the basic step. By this method high R-w (molar ratio of water/TEOS) systems (R-w reaches 250)can be gelled without volume loss. Below the coagulation point, a larger amount of HCl addition in the basic step (the system remains basic) and higher ultimate base concentration lead to faster gelation, which might be attributed to the change of electrolyte concentration, ion strength and pH value of the system, while a larger amount of water causes longer gelation times due to dilution effects.
