Herein, a sintering-resistant aerogel-based fire-protective coating is developed via an interfacial anchoring and TiO₂-mediated interfacial stabilization strategy. In this coating, hollow Al₂O₃ microspheres provide a thermally stable framework and hollow heat barriers, while their surfaces anchor the aerogel network to suppress aggregation, coarsening, and pore collapse during ablation. Meanwhile, TiO₂ nanoparticles mediate high-temperature interfacial stabilization, further reinforcing the porous ceramic framework and improving ablation resistance. This cooperative structure interrupts the “sintering–collapse–insulation failure” degradation pathway and stabilizes the aerogel-derived insulation architecture. The coating exhibits a low thermal conductivity of 0.0463 W m⁻¹ K⁻¹. Under 836 °C flame exposure, a 2 mm coating maintains the cold-side temperature at ∼300 °C and remains crack-free after burning. After ablation, the coating retains electrical insulation with a leakage current of only 0.044 mA at 1500 V. In a practical battery fire test, the 2 mm coating reduces the cold-side temperature from 402 to 178 °C and suppresses the peak heat flux by more than fourfold, effectively inhibiting lithium-ion battery thermal runaway propagation and improving battery safety. This work offers a coating-centered strategy for lightweight fire-protective coatings with integrated thermal, fire, and electrical safety protection.","PeriodicalId":306,"journal":{"name":"Energy Storage Materials","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":20.4,"publicationDate":"2026-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148692017","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we present a nanosecond-pulse laser-guided surface revitalization strategy that simultaneously resolves both the chemical and structural heterogeneities of the starting LMA surface through two complementary irradiation modes: an ablation mode (A-mode) for selective NOL removal, and a smoothing mode (S-mode) for defect healing through controlled melting and reflow.
