“…Aerogels can be classified based on several methods, depending on the preparation method into aerogel, xerogel, cryogel, and hydrogels [40]. It can also be classified based on its physical state into powder, film, and monoliths [41]. Also, the aerogels can be classified into organic, inorganic, and superimposed aerogels based on their composition [42].…”

This review is mainly on the relevance of graphene aerogels for energy storage systems highlighting their distinct properties and applications. Today, electronic devices such as smartphones, laptops, and other electrical appliances have become the axe of our daily lives. As a result, electrical energy is required for these devices. Despite the discovery of renewable energy sources as an alternative to fossil fuels, the construction of energy storage systems is still necessary to store energy. Lithium-ion batteries and supercapacitors are considered essential systems for this purpose and have witnessed tremendous development in recent years. The efficiency of these systems depends on the structure of the materials used in their formation. Graphene oxide and graphene aerogel materials improve the properties of energy storage systems in terms of stability of charging and discharging cycles, longevity, and reduction of combustion incidents resulting from ordinary compounds. However, the development of graphene aerogels faces challenges in improving their mechanical properties, the cost of their preparation, and their high agglomeration ability in solvents. Therefore, intensive efforts are needed to develop these materials for a new revolution in energy storage.

“…The implementation of fibers has undoubted advantages for strengthening purposes while maintaining extremely low thermal conductivity (ranging between 0.017 and 0.04 W/m × K), almost comparable to that of “pure” aerogel [ 8 ]. Due to their unique properties, these materials have recently been used for various ground and aerospace applications, such as [ 11 , 12 ]: (a) thermal insulators in building of industrial pipelines, (b) fire retardant systems, (c) noise insulation panels for acoustic control in situations like offices or recording studios, (d) propellant spray foams onto refrigerator walls instead of pullulating chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) fluids, (e) spacecraft thermal control systems, and (f) cryogenic propulsion tanks.…”

The traditional choice of insulation material for liquefied natural gas (LNG) transportation with cryogenic tankers is the back-filled perlite-based system. However, aiming to further cut down the insulation cost, spare additional arrangement space, and provide safety in installation and maintenance, the requirement of looking for alternative materials still exists. Fiber-reinforced aerogel blankets (FRABs) could represent good candidates in designing insulation layers for LNG cryogenic storage because of their ability to ensure adequate thermal performance without the need to create deep vacuum conditions in the annular space of the tank. In this work, a finite element method (FEM) model was developed to study the thermal insulation performance of a commercial FRAB (Cryogel ® Z) for application in cryogenic storage/transport LNG tanks, comparing it with the performance of traditional perlite-based systems. Within the reliability limits of the computational model, the analysis proved that FRAB insulation technology gave encouraging results and might be potentially scalable for transporting cryogenic liquid. In addition to demonstrating superior performance in terms of thermal insulating efficiency and boil-off rate over the perlite-based system, as far as a perspective of cost savings and space gain, FRAB technology allows for higher levels of insulation without vacuum and with lower thickness of the outer shell, which is therefore beneficial for storing more material and lightening the weight of the LNG transportation semitrailer.
