Main Results:

  • The PCM aerogel exhibited low density (16.2 mg·cm⁻³), excellent mechanical resilience, and rapid recovery under high pressure.
  • It demonstrated outstanding thermal insulation, hydrophobicity, and sensitive piezoresistive sensing.
  • The composite showed high flame retardancy (LOI > 45.0%) and a rapid fire-warning trigger time (< 1.8 s) due to MXene's properties.

Conclusions:

  • The novel PCM aerogel offers a promising solution for next-generation high-performance biomass-based materials.
  • Its multifunctional properties, including mechanical robustness, fire safety, and fire-warning capability, are valuable for intelligent firefighting applications.
