Introduction to Aerogel Insulation Pads: Aerogel insulation pads use an aerogel blanket as the central insulating material, surrounded by high-rebound silicone rubber and encased in a flame-retardant PET film, followed by heat-press sealing at the edges. This not only ensures that the silica aerogel does not fall out during use, achieving insulation and efficient thermal retention, but also provides cushioning and shock absorption, with a smooth and aesthetically pleasing surface.
In the power batteries of new energy vehicles, aerogel buffer pads/insulation pads can be installed between battery cells. When a certain cell undergoes thermal runaway, these pads can effectively block the transfer of heat to adjacent cells, preventing thermal diffusion and avoiding the domino effect of thermal runaway in new energy vehicle battery cells. This greatly reduces the risk of vehicle-wide thermal runaway, providing more time for occupants to escape safely.
Aerogel materials: This is the core component. Aerogel is a porous material with a highly dispersed solid three-dimensional nanostructure, formed by the aggregation of colloidal particles or polymers, using gas as the dispersing medium;
Reinforcing fibers: In order to increase the strength and toughness of aerogels, making them easier to process and use, some reinforcing fibers are usually added, such as glass fibers, ceramic fibers, and pre-oxidized fibers. These fibers can form composite structures with aerogels, enhancing the overall mechanical properties.Binder: Used to bond aerogels and reinforcing fibers together to form a stable structure. Types of binders include acrylic polymers, flame retardants, fillers, etc., and they need to have good adhesive properties and high-temperature resistance.Encapsulation materials: Typically, encapsulation materials are applied to the outer surface of aerogel composite materials, such as PI (polyimide) films or PET (polyethylene terephthalate) films, to protect the aerogel, enhance waterproofing, and improve insulation. At the same time, they also facilitate the installation of cushioning pads or thermal insulation pads in application areas.
Advantages of buffer pads/thermal insulation pads with aerogel:
It can maintain the battery temperature within an appropriate range to ensure the battery’s performance, whether preventing the battery from overheating in high-temperature environments or ensuring normal battery performance in low-temperature environments (when the temperature is too low, the battery charges slowly and consumes power quickly). It plays an important role in thermal insulation and flame retardancy between power battery cells, thermal insulation and shockproofing between modules and the casing, and in the external cold-proof and high-temperature insulation layers of the battery box, thereby better achieving battery temperature control and electronic management.
