The application belongs to the technical field of battery
thermal runaway protection, and specifically discloses a ceramicized foamed
silica gel battery heat insulation pad based on
aerogel and a preparation method. The liquid
silicone rubber is in-situ vulcanized and foamed, and the
magnesium hydroxide whisker is supported, the micropore of the
aerogel is reinforced in advance, then the
aerogel is combined with the ceramicized
silica gel to be foamed, and thus the battery heat insulation pad with excellent heat insulation and mechanical buffering is obtained. The battery heat insulation pad is designed in a layered gradient
cell, the middle layer has large cells, and the two sides have small cells. When the battery is rapidly expanded in
thermal runaway, the middle layer of the heat insulation pad provides compression buffering, avoids the micropores near the battery from being excessively compressed, and quickly sintered and formed into a hard and self-supporting microporous
ceramic layer, so that a stable
cell structure at high temperature is provided, and a persistent
heat transfer blocking effect is achieved. The heat insulation pad reduces the use amount of aerogel, has a simple preparation process, is suitable for
batch production, is directly
cut during use, does not need complex
assembly, and is suitable for
thermal runaway protection of square shell batteries and blade batteries.
