▎ 摘  要

Three-dimensional (3D) elastic aerogels enable diverse applications but are usually restricted by their low thermal and electrical transfer efficiency. Here, we demonstrate a strategy for fabricating the highly thermally and electrically conductive aerogels using hybrid carbon/ceramic structural units made of hexagonal boron nitride nanoribbons (BNNRs) with in situ-grown orthogonally structured graphene (OSG). High-aspect-ratio BNNRs are first interconnected into a 3D elastic and thermally conductive skeleton, in which the horizontal graphene layers of OSG provide additional hyper-channels for electron and phonon conduction, and the vertical graphene sheets of OSG greatly improve surface roughness and charge polarization ability of the entire skeleton. The resulting OSG/BNNR hybrid aerogel exhibits very high thermal and electrical conductivity (up to 7.84 W m-1 K-1 and 340 S m-1, respectively) at a low density of 45.8 mg cm-3, which should prove to be vastly advantageous as compared to the reported carbonic and/or ceramic aerogels. Moreover, the hybrid aerogel possesses integrated properties of wide temperature-invariant superelasticity (from -196 to 600 degrees C), low-voltage-driven Joule heating (up to 42-134 degrees C at 1-4 V), strong hydrophobicity (contact angel of up to 156.1 degrees), and powerful broadband electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding effectiveness (reaching 70.9 dB at 2 mm thickness), all of which can maintain very well under repeated mechanical deformations and long-term immersion in strong acid or alkali solution. Using these extraordinary comprehensive properties, we prove the great potential of OSG/BNNR hybrid aerogel in wearable electronics for regulating body temperature, proofing water and pollution, removing ice, and protecting human health against EMI.
