Fire safety is a critical concern across various industries, from construction and transportation to electronics and energy storage. Traditional flame-retardant coatings often fail to provide both immediate and prolonged protection, limiting their applicability. Now, researchers from the IMDEA Materials Institute, Beijing Technology and Business University, and Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, led by Professor Lijun Qian and Professor De-Yi Wang, have developed an innovative bi-layered coating that addresses these challenges. Their findings, published in Nano-Micro Letters, demonstrate superior fire resistance with a mere 320-micron thickness.
