Thermal insulation of solid materials originates from the nanoscale porous architectures to regulate thermal management in energy-critical applications from energy-efficient buildings to heat-sensitive energy devices. Here, we show nanoengineering of porous silica materials to control the architecture transition from mesoporous to nanocage networks. A low thermal conductivity of such a porous silica network is achieved at 0.018 W/(m K) while exhibiting a porosity of 92.05%, specific surface area of 504 m²/g, and pore volume of 2.37 cm³/g after ambient pressure drying. Meanwhile, the crosslinking of the porous silica and ceramic fiber frameworks show a tensile Young’s modulus of 2.8 MPa while maintaining high thermal insulation, which provides an effective thermal runway mitigation strategy for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. Furthermore, the nanoengineering strategy reported here would shed light on achieving superthermal insulation of nanostructures for energy-critical applications.
