First, the industry has arrived
Before we can understand where and how aerogel can be used, we need to understand the development of aerogel. To analyze from a relatively intuitive point of view, we mainly found that the development of aerogel can basically understand why it is "seen" by more people from three aspects: the country, the industry and the individual.
First of all, from the perspective of national policies, in the context of dual carbon, the insulation and energy-saving material industry has also given birth to the development of new materials and new technologies while being standardized under the promotion of policies. Aerogel based on its own low thermal conductivity, fire insulation and other characteristics, has gradually become one of the key materials in the industry.
Secondly, from the perspective of industry development, with national policy support and industry norms, the research and development and production of aerogel tend to mature, and continue to develop on a large scale, and aerogel is in a downstream multi-point flowering state. At present, aerogel is still in the stage of continuous penetration in the industry, and the future application space is broader.
Finally, from the perspective of user demand, the accidents such as building fires and collapses in recent years are alerting users to pursue more healthy, safe and high-quality products. Demand is often accompanied by development, even we are now common glass wool, rubber and plastic insulation materials, but also experienced the precipitation of time and demand to gradually mature, aerogel is the same.

Second, aerogels application scenarios
Some people's cognition of aerogel may still be in the preliminary understanding stage, in fact, aerogel has been widely used in construction, industry, new energy and other fields, which are closely related to our lives.
Aerogel has the properties of heat insulation, heat preservation and light weight, which can meet the requirements of building energy conservation. After the development of aerogel composite materials and the reasonable combination of aerogel and other materials, people can effectively realize the needs of building thermal insulation and heat insulation through aerogel composite materials, and further reduce the preparation and use costs of aerogel.
In the field of construction, aerogel coatings can be applied to the interior and exterior insulation coating of buildings. The aerogel coating system can prevent the outside heat from entering the room and reduce the energy consumption of air conditioning equipment. In different seasons, it can reduce the loss of energy in the house, play a thermal insulation effect, and bring a more comfortable living environment for users.

Aerogel coatings are not only suitable for ordinary buildings, but also widely used in the roofing of industrial buildings. Inorganic fiber, nano silica aerogels and other materials as the main body, water as a dispersing medium, adding special adhesive, fiber loosening, stirring made of viscous slurry. It can be directly sprayed or coated on the surface of the protected metal or other materials, and baked and cured at room temperature or low temperature to form a protective layer with high insulation effect.
In addition, the aerogel coating has the advantages of good adhesion and convenient construction, and is also widely used in industrial kiln lining, metallurgy and refining equipment. Aerogel felt and other products are also used in steam pipes and other equipment for thermal insulation treatment.
In addition, aerogel composite insulation products are also used in the safety protection of new energy power batteries. Through the thermal isolation between cells and modules, the whole operation of the battery is prevented from being abnormal due to the thermal runaway of a single cell.


In fact, aerogel was born in the early 20th century, this does not belong to the recently discovered "new materials", but its excellent characteristics in all aspects make it widely concerned, worthy of our continuous research and exploration. We look forward to more aerogel-related products being used in the future to bring you a better life.
