What is Aerogel Powder?Aerogel has the smallest density of any solid material in the world. The density is set at 3 kg/m3. Kistler and his friends first created the silicon gel aerogel in 1931. Aerogels come in many forms, such as silicon, carbon or sulfur. Aerogel is actually a compound. Aero is an adjective that means "in air". A gel is a gel. It means air gel. This is the term for aerogel.

Aerogel powder as thermal insulation material
The fine network structure of aerogel silicon effectively limits the spread of local thermal excitement, and its thermal conductivity solid is 2-3 orders lower than glassy materials. The nano-pores in silicon aerogel inhibit gas molecules from contributing to heat conduction. The refractive indices of silicon aerogel are close to 1 and the ratio between infrared and visual light annihilation coefficients is greater than 100. It can pass through sunlight, and stop the infrared radiation from the ambient temperature. It has been developed into an ideal transparent thermal insulating material, and is used for solar energy and building energy saving. The radiant heat conduction in silicon aerogel is further reduced by doping. Thermal conductivity can be as low at 0.013w/m*K for aerogels doped with carbon, when room temperature and pressure are normal. This is the solid with the lowest thermal resistance and it is expected to replace polyurethane as a refrigerator insulation material. Silica Aerogel can become a new material for high-temperature thermal insulation by adding titanium dioxide. The thermal conductivity of the material at 800K only is 0.03w/m* K. This will be further developed to become a new supporting product for military products.

Aerogel powder in energy storage devices
After the sintering procedure, organic aerogel gel becomes carbon aerogel. This conductive porous carbon material is a newly developed carbon material after fibrous active carbon. The material has a large surface (600-1000m2/g) as well as a high level of conductivity (10-25s/cm). Further, the density of this material varies from 0.05 to 1.0 g/cm3. Imagine an electrolyte has been injected into the micropores. A new rechargeable lithium-ion battery could be created. It would have excellent properties such as high storage capacity and low internal resistance. It is also lightweight and has strong charging and discharge ability. The preliminary experimental findings show that the carbon aerogel's charging capacity reaches 3x104/kg2, its power density is 7kW/kg, while the performance of repeated charging/discharging is excellent.

Prices of aerogel powder
Aergel powder's price is influenced by its particle size and purity. Its volume of purchase can also influence the price. The price of a large quantity will be lower. On our official website, you can find the price of Aerogel Powder.
