Abstract

Aerogels, characterized by their exceptional porosity, vast specific surface areas, minimal density, and unparalleled thermal insulation capabilities, have become a focal point of attention in the energy sector over the past decade, particularly in the realms of batteries and supercapacitors. This comprehensive review delves into aerogels and their preparation methods, while reviewing their recent applications in batteries and supercapacitors. It delves deeply into the research and development progress, as well as the application advancements of aerogel materials in separators, electrolytes, and electrodes. Furthermore, this article highlights that the research on aerogels still faces some challenges, such as steep costs, sophisticated production steps, and relatively weak overall mechanical strength. Therefore, in the future, it is necessary to further strengthen the fundamental research and technological innovation of aerogel materials, and promote their industrialization process and wide application in the field of energy storage, particularly in the areas of batteries and supercapacitors.
