Research progress of aerogel insulation materials for lithium-ion power batteries

In recent years, the new energy vehicle industry has been developing rapidly. Lithium-ion battery has become the most widely used power battery due to its advantages of high energy density and long cycle life, but it has thermal runaway problem under extreme conditions. As a new nano-porous thermal insulation material, the temperature resistance of aerogel composite can reach more than 1000°C. Due to its excellent thermal insulation performance, light weight, fire resistance and environmental protection, it is gradually applied in the thermal insulation and fire protection of new energy vehicle battery cells. This paper introduces the thermal runaway of lithium-ion battery and the protection measures, the commonly used aerogel thermal insulation materials and their outstanding performance advantages for application in lithium batteries, and compares them with traditional power battery thermal insulation materials. Finally, the application prospect is given.
