Abstract

Ceramic Nanofiber Sponges In article number e09204, Chao Sui and co-workers fabricated flexible ceramic nanofibers through a solution-spinning in-situ deposition process, self-assembling into lamellar ceramic sponges with compressibility and bendability. Serving as a thermal insulation material, these sponges demonstrate exceptional temperature-invariant superelasticity and thermal stability across a wide temperature range from cryogenic to extremely high temperatures, providing a reliable thermal insulation solution for demanding applications in extreme environments.
