[0002] Compared with ordinary conductive materials, the conductive nanofiber aerogel has a more abundant internal conductive network, can generate more contact sites during deformation, and has a more sensitive characteristic to external stimulation, and has been widely applied in the fields of sensors, energy storage, catalysis, wastewater treatment, electromagnetic shielding and the like.

[0003] At present, the methods for preparing conductive aerogel mainly include supercritical drying, electrostatic direct spraying and freeze drying. Among them, the freeze drying method has become a necessary means for preparing the conductive nanofiber aerogel because it greatly retains the original structure and properties of the sample and the prepared aerogel has stable structure. The freeze drying method first freezes the fiber dispersion liquid, uses ice crystal growth to build the nanofiber aerogel cell structure, and then prepares the nanofiber aerogel through vacuum drying.

[0004] Because the ice crystal growth needs a certain time, the dispersion liquid prepared from the inert hydrophobic fiber will have problems such as agglomeration and stratification during this period of time, thereby causing the aerogel cell structure to be non-uniform and easy to collapse. In addition, the existing freeze drying system only forms the aerogel with a single cell structure, and cannot prepare the two-way freeze aerogel with a continuous gradient cell structure, thereby limiting the further improvement of the conductive performance of the nanofiber aerogel.
