A method for manufacturing an aerogel blanket, the method comprising: 1) introducing a catalyzed sol and a substrate for a blanket into a reaction vessel to impregnate the catalyzed sol into the substrate for a blanket; and 2) rotating the substrate for a blanket into which the catalyzed sol is impregnated to perform gelation, wherein the catalyzed sol includes a silica precursor composition, and the silica precursor composition includes a silicate containing a hydrophobic group and a tetraalkyl silicate, wherein a molar ratio of the silicate containing a hydrophobic group and the tetraalkyl silicate is 60:40 to 98:2, wherein the silicate containing a hydrophobic group is one or more selected from the group consisting of methyltriethoxysilane (MTES), trimethylethoxysilane (TMES), trimethylsilanol, methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS), dimethyldiethoxysilane (DMDEOS), ethyltriethoxysilane (ETES), and phenyltriethoxysilane (PTES), and wherein the tetraalkyl silicate is tetramethyl orthosilicate (TMOS), tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS), tetrapropyl orthosilicate, tetraisopropyl orthosilicate, tetrabutyl orthosilicate, tetra secondary butyl orthosilicate, tetra tertiary butyl orthosilicate, tetrahexyl orthosilicate, tetracyclohexyl orthosilicate, or tetradodecyl orthosilicate. 1) introducing a catalyzed sol and a substrate for a blanket into a reaction vessel to impregnate the catalyzed sol into the substrate for a blanket; and 2) rotating the substrate for a blanket into which the catalyzed sol is impregnated to perform gelation, wherein the catalyzed sol includes a silica precursor composition, and the silica precursor composition includes a silicate containing a hydrophobic group and a tetraalkyl silicate, wherein a molar ratio of the silicate containing a hydrophobic group and the tetraalkyl silicate is 60:40 to 98:2, wherein the silicate containing a hydrophobic group is one or more selected from the group consisting of methyltriethoxysilane (MTES), trimethylethoxysilane (TMES), trimethylsilanol, methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS), dimethyldiethoxysilane (DMDEOS), ethyltriethoxysilane (ETES), and phenyltriethoxysilane (PTES), and wherein the tetraalkyl silicate is tetramethyl orthosilicate (TMOS), tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS), tetrapropyl orthosilicate, tetraisopropyl orthosilicate, tetrabutyl orthosilicate, tetra secondary butyl orthosilicate, tetra tertiary butyl orthosilicate, tetrahexyl orthosilicate, tetracyclohexyl orthosilicate, or tetradodecyl orthosilicate. the catalyzed sol includes a silica precursor composition, and the silica precursor composition includes a silicate containing a hydrophobic group and a tetraalkyl silicate, wherein a molar ratio of the silicate containing a hydrophobic group and the tetraalkyl silicate is 60:40 to 98:2, wherein the silicate containing a hydrophobic group is one or more selected from the group consisting of methyltriethoxysilane (MTES), trimethylethoxysilane (TMES), trimethylsilanol, methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS), dimethyldiethoxysilane (DMDEOS), ethyltriethoxysilane (ETES), and phenyltriethoxysilane (PTES), and wherein the tetraalkyl silicate is tetramethyl orthosilicate (TMOS), tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS), tetrapropyl orthosilicate, tetraisopropyl orthosilicate, tetrabutyl orthosilicate, tetra secondary butyl orthosilicate, tetra tertiary butyl orthosilicate, tetrahexyl orthosilicate, tetracyclohexyl orthosilicate, or tetradodecyl orthosilicate.
