The potential of thermally insulated wood aerogels in energy-efficient engineering is constrained by their mechanical weakness and inadequate environmental stability. Combining minerals with wood aerogels offers promise for enhancing their multifaceted performance. However, fabricating high-performance wood-based aerogels via organic-inorganic assembly remains challenging due to poor uniformity and weak interfacial bonding. Herein, inspired by diatoms, an ultrastrong and flame-retardant biomimetic polymethylsilsesquioxane-wood aerogel (MSQW) is...
