The "firewall" for new energy vehicle batteries has been upgraded! Aerogel insulation technology breaks the deadlock of thermal runaway

At the top of the snow capped mountain at an altitude of 5000 meters, the electronic equipment of the communication base station is enduring a severe cold of -30 ℃; In the desert hinterland thousands of miles away, the battery pack of new energy vehicles soared to a high temperature of 60 ℃ due to continuous fast charging - how to make the equipment "both frost resistant and heat-resistant" under extreme temperature differences? When the traditional thermal insulation materials gradually show fatigue in the ultra wide temperature range, a new material called "hot gas gel thermal insulation film" is redefining the scientific and technological boundary of the thermal insulation field with its hard core strength of "crossing 400 ° temperature difference".

From nanopores to 3D grids: redefining the 'insulated ceiling'
Aerogel, known as "the magic material that changes the world", its core secret lies in the microstructure of "nano scale three-dimensional cellular network". Although the thermally excited gas gel thermal insulation film is as thin as a cicada's wing (only 1-3mm thick), it has built countless closed pores with a diameter of less than 100 nanometers - these pores are smaller than the average free path of air molecules (about 68nm), which is equivalent to locking air molecules firmly in the pores with "nano sieve", completely blocking the path of heat conduction.
Traditional insulation materials, such as glass wool and rock wool, rely on the low thermal conductivity of the material itself, but are limited by pore size and density, resulting in limited improvement in insulation efficiency; The nano pore structure of aerogel reduces the heat transfer efficiency by more than 90%. The experimental data shows that the thermal insulation effect of the thermal gas gel insulation film is 3-5 times that of traditional materials: under the same thickness, it can attenuate the heat of the 800 ℃ high temperature source to below 50 ℃ within a distance of 1 cm - which means that even if the outside is baked by a 400 ℃ flame, the inside can still maintain a normal temperature, easily crossing the ultra wide temperature range challenge of "-200 ℃ to 200 ℃".

From fire prevention to environmental protection: safety is the foundation, performance is bright
In fields with extremely high safety requirements such as military and firefighting, "non combustible" is a hard indicator. The "fire prevention gene" of hot gas gel thermal insulation film stems from its essence: as an inorganic nano material, it will not decompose at 1000 ℃, nor will it release toxic gases (such as hydrogen cyanide and carbon monoxide generated during the combustion of traditional foam plastics). This feature makes it a "safety guard" in the thermal insulation layer of the battery pack of new energy vehicles - when the battery loses control of heat due to overcharge and discharge, the aerogel film can quickly block the heat diffusion, and strive for valuable escape time for passengers.
What is more noteworthy is its "green attributes": the product is non-toxic, odorless, and has no fiber shedding. The substrate has passed international certifications such as RoHS (EU Environmental Directive) and REACH (EU Chemical Registration), and can be directly used in insulation scenarios for food grade equipment or medical instruments. In the field of high-end outdoor clothing, it is replacing traditional heavy down or fleece materials -1mm thick film can achieve the insulation effect of traditional down jackets, but it can reduce the weight of clothing by 40%, making climbers more flexible in extreme cold.

From Electronics to Military Industry: Multi Scene 'Metamorphosis'
The "omnipotence" of thermally excited gel thermal insulation film stems from its "customizable" design logic. In addition to the basic film, it can also be combined with thermal conductive materials such as graphite sheets, copper foils, and aluminum foils to form a double-sided functional film with "one side conducting heat and the other side insulating" - this is particularly critical in the heat dissipation module of 5G base stations: the heat generated by the chip is quickly exported through the copper foil, while the insulation film on the other side prevents the heat from spreading to the shell, avoiding equipment shutdown due to local high temperatures.
In the automotive field, it is made into a battery pack insulation pad, which can isolate heat crosstalk between battery packs and buffer vibrations; In the field of shipbuilding and military industry, thin and lightweight films are attached to the inner walls of ship engine compartments, which not only reduces thermal losses but also enhances the fire resistance level of the cabin; Even in firefighting clothing, it is compounded with flame-retardant fabric, reducing the thickness of firefighters' protective clothing by 30%, yet still able to withstand the close range burning of 1000 ℃ flames.

The temperature of technology is hidden in the 'impossible' breakthroughs
From the laboratory to the industrial scene, the application of thermal insulation film of hot gas gel has confirmed a truth: real technology is to make "impossible" become "possible". When traditional materials are unable to cope in a wide temperature range, they reconstruct the insulation logic with nanoscale microstructures; When the industry's demand shifts from a single insulation to a composite demand of "insulation+heat dissipation+lightweight", it provides a system solution with "customizable" flexibility.
Under the "dual carbon" goal, efficient and energy-saving insulation materials have become the focus of global technological competition. The debut of the series of aerogel thermal insulation films not only provides various industries with a sharp tool to "cross the temperature difference", but also writes a vivid footnote for the upgrading and transformation of the new material industry with the characteristics of "safety, environmental protection and multi-function" - perhaps, this is the charm of technology: it is not the cold data in the laboratory, but a warm force to make the extreme environment more controllable, to meet special needs, and to make human life better.

Next time, when you see the new energy vehicle driving smoothly in the snowstorm, or the fireman walking against the fire, you may say, "Thank you for this layer of aerogel film that passes through the 400 degree temperature difference."
