Description

[0002] The preparation process of aerogel felt is generally to immerse the fiber material in sol to form a gel composite, and then dry to obtain an aerogel felt product. Commonly used fiber materials such as glass fiber, aluminum silicate fiber, ceramic fiber and the like are usually made into a felt body and then used, which generally adopts dry method and wet method. Specifically, the glass fiber needle felt prepared by dry method is usually thick, and the aluminum silicate felt is usually thicker than 5 mm, which not only has high weight per unit area, but also reduces the space utilization of the integrated product, which is not conducive to the popularization and application in the field of batteries and the like. The fiber felt made by wet method such as surface felt, glass fiber surface felt, ceramic fiber surface felt and the like can be controlled to be less than 5 mm in thickness, and even less than 1 mm, but a significant disadvantage is that the fiber felt body will absorb a lot of resin during the preparation process, and the resin content can be as high as 15% or more, which leads to easy local decomposition and smoke generation in high temperature environment, and poor thermal stability, heat insulation performance and flame retardant and fireproof performance in high temperature.

[0052] In some examples, the temperature of the first immersion is 5-30℃. It can be understood that the temperature of the first immersion includes but is not limited to 5℃, 10℃, 15℃, 20℃, 25℃, 30℃.

[0059] In some examples, the method for preparing the aging solution comprises: mixing the ethanol and the modifier, stirring, and preparing the aging solution.

[0060] In some examples, the aging process is performed for 8-36 hours. It is understood that the aging process can be performed for 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10, 10.5, 11, 11.5, 12, 12.5, 13, 13.5, 14, 14.5, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, or 36 hours.

[0061] In some examples, the drying method comprises supercritical drying.

[0062] In some examples, the supercritical drying is performed for 3-7 hours at a temperature of 60-110°C.

[0063] In some examples, before the fibrous gel material is mixed with the aging solution, the multi-layered fibrous gel material is packaged with a separation layer to separate the fibrous gel materials in different layers and prevent direct contact between the fibrous gel materials in different layers. Optionally, the separation layer can be a water-permeable porous mesh. The thickness of the separation layer can be 1-3 mm. The packaging of the multi-layered fibrous gel material with the separation layer can improve the efficiency and uniformity of the subsequent impregnation and drying processes.

[0064] Optionally, the packaging method comprises rolling the fibrous gel material and the separation layer into a roll or stacking the sliced fibrous gel material and the separation layer. In the rolling step, the fibrous gel material is laid on a separation layer with a flat surface, and the fibrous gel material and the separation layer are rolled together. In the stacking step, the fibrous gel material and the separation layer are alternately stacked. The fibrous gel materials are separated by the separation layer, and the fibrous gel materials in different layers are in direct or indirect contact.

[0065] In some specific examples, the method for preparing the aerogel mat comprises the following steps:

[0066] 1. A thin surface felt (0.5mm-5mm thickness range) is pre-heated and then dried in a heat treatment device (setting parameters). After the resin content is completely released by heat treatment, it is then immersed in a silica sol solution (setting parameters) for the first impregnation treatment while maintaining residual heat. This is followed by a second impregnation treatment with the catalyzed sol solution for gelation, resulting in a fiber gel material. The purpose of this pre-heating treatment is to completely release the resin content. The first impregnation treatment forms a silica sol film on the surface of the material, preparing it for the subsequent catalytic treatment. The second impregnation treatment allows the sol to gel on the surface, enhancing the material's structural stability. These two impregnations with different sols are intended to improve the structural strength of the surface felt after the pre-treatment to remove the resin component, resulting in a thin aerogel felt product with structural strength and free of organic resin. This second impregnation treatment also enhances the high-temperature thermal insulation and strength of the thin aerogel felt product.

[0067] 2. The obtained fiber gel material can be packaged into a roll together with the isolation layer.

[0068] 3. The obtained fiber gel material can be sliced ​​and stacked with isolation layers for packaging.

[0069] After being rolled or packaged, the fiber gel material enters a circulating aging solution (with set parameters) for aging. This step further solidifies the material's structure and improves its heat resistance and waterproof properties. Specifically, this aging solution treatment not only produces thin aerogel felt products with strong structural strength but also allows for the adjustment of hydrophobicity or hydrophilicity, providing selectivity for subsequent processing.

[0070] 4. The aged fiber gel material is supercritically dried to obtain a high-temperature resistant thin aerogel felt product. Specifically, the rolled or sliced ​​aerogel can meet the needs of coil and sheet forming and meet the application requirements of different surface properties and processing requirements.

[0071] A second aspect of the present invention provides an aerogel felt produced according to the method for producing a high-temperature resistant thin aerogel felt as described above.

[0072] The third aspect of the present invention provides the use of the aerogel felt described above in the preparation of thermal insulation layers and protective layers for batteries and electrical appliances in the new energy field.

[0073] The following is further described with reference to specific examples.
