Suppression of lithium dendrite by aramid nanofibrous aerogel separator

The significance of mitigating crosstalk in lithium-ion batteries: a review

“…On the one hand, the efficient physisorption and chemisorption of crosstalk species will be achievable by tailoring the surface chemistry and porosity of the separator. 27,[163][164][165] On the other hand, it is notable that the pore structure and thermomechanical property of membrane separator can be controlled to block thermalinduced electrode crosstalk while minimizing limited battery performance. 37,38 In addition, the innovative structural design of binders, conductors and even current collectors will also be helpful in alleviating the detrimental effects of crosstalk.…”

Hyperelastic Kevlar Nanofiber Aerogels as Robust Thermal Switches for Smart Thermal Management

“…and produced through chemical exfoliation. [ 9,10 ] The KAs address the inherent brittleness of oxide aerogels and the low thermal stability of traditional polymeric aerogels, making them promising in several applications, such as lithium‐ion battery separators, [ 11,12 ] supercapacitors, [ 13,14 ] infrared stealth, [ 15,16 ] electromagnetic shielding, [ 17–19 ] and high‐efficiency adsorption. [ 20,21 ] However, limited by the inherent rigidity of aromatic amide molecules and the lack of connection points between KNFs, the mechanical properties of KAs cannot be fully displayed, thus severely restricting the applications of KAs.…”

Lightweight, Compressible, and Multifunctional Organic–Inorganic Nanofibrous Aerogels for Enhanced Microwave Absorption

“…Inspired by this idea, a large number of studies on the construction of carbon-based aerogels using 1D fiber structures (e.g., carbon nanotubes, carbon nanofibers, carbon nanowires) as building blocks have turned up. − Among these, continuous 1D fibrous units serve as a skeleton to inhibit deformation and cracking under external forces, preventing the aerogels from collapsing. , Nonetheless, simple stacks of 1D fibrous units are unable to provide sufficient mechanical robustness due to the extremely dilute connection and fragile joint in their 3D network, which is far from the actual application requirements. Therefore, strong interactions between the nanofiber units are necessary to endow the aerogels with improved structural integrity and compressibility. , Notably, another prevailing approach to alleviate the brittleness of carbon-based aerogels is the organic–inorganic hybridization strategy, especially for the introduction of polymer nanofiber. − In such a way, large and recoverable deformability can be easily achieved by virtue of the elastic polymer nanofiber. For example, He et al prepared superstrong polymeric aerogels involving self-assembled 3D networks of ANF composites .…”
