Abstract:In the face of increasing global energy consumption and increasingly severe environmental problems, it is particularly urgent to promote the implementation of "dual carbon" strategy. Promoting the sustainable development of the industry through the implementation of this strategy is essential to address these challenges. The rational use of abundant and environmentally friendly biomass resources is key to promoting the transformation and upgrading of traditional insulation materials. Biomass aerogel is a new type of porous material, which not only shows excellent properties comparable to traditional aerogel, such as low density, high porosity and high specific surface area, but also has a broad development prospect in insulation applications due to its unique advantages of renewable raw materials and “carbon sequestration”. This article focuses on the preparation methods and classification of biomass aerogel, and elaborates on the thermal insulation applications of biomass aerogel composite materials in the fields of construction, automotive industry, packaging, and desalination. Finally, the challenges faced by biomass aerogel are put forward: to meet the requirements of economic, environmental protection and high efficiency preparation; To meet the needs of use in different application fields; The application prospect of biomass aerogel thermal insulation composites should be broadened. At the same time, the future research is prospected: design a green recyclable experimental system and simplify the process flow; Optimize the preparation process and develop functional materials adapted to specific applications; Research and develop other biomass materials, and explore new application fields.
