Abstract
High-performance insulating materials are essential for developing lightweight, compact, and green offshore wind power equipment. It has been shown that nanoporous structures can limit the development of electron avalanche, leading to a significant increase in the breakdown electric strength of dielectrics. Hence, we fabricated a polysiloxane nanoporous biopolymer insulating material (PNBIM) with the nanoporous structure that presents exceptionally high electrically insulating properties. Under a CO2 atmosphere, the breakdown electric strength of the PNBIM was remarkably improved, exhibiting 761.01 % enhancement relative to that of the pure gas gap. Moreover, the PNBIM demonstrates excellent dielectric performance, with a low dielectric constant (1.63) and dielectric loss (0.014), as well as high hydrophobicity and excellent thermal stability. The investigations revealed that the nanopores inside the material can effectively suppress gas discharge and improve the breakdown electric strength. This study widens our understanding of conventional insulating materials and provides a promising approach for exploring high-performance insulating materials provide valuable insights.
