Recently, reversible compressibility has been realized in flexible nanostructures-based ceramic aerogels. However, these modified aerogels still show fast and brittle fracture under tension. Herein, we demonstrate achieving reversible stretch and crack insensitivity in a highly compressible ceramic aerogel through engineering its microstructure by using curly SiC-SiOx bicrystal nanowire as the building blocks. The aerogel exhibits large-strain reversible stretch (20%) and good resistance to high-speed tensile fatigue test. Even for a prenotched sample, a reversible stretch at 10% strain is achieved, indicating good crack resistance. The aerogel also displays reversible compressibility up to 80% strain, ultralow thermal conductivity of 28.4 mW m\u20131 K\u20131, and excellent thermal stability even at temperatures as high as 1200 \u00b0C in butane blow torch or as low as \u2212196 \u00b0C in liquid nitrogen. Our findings show that the attractive tensile properties arise from the deformation, interaction, and reorientation of the curly nanowires which could reduce stress concentration and suppress crack initiation and growth during tension. This study not only expands the applicability of ceramic aerogels to conditions involving complex dynamic stress under extreme temperature conditions but also benefits the design of other highly stretchable and crack-resistant porous ceramic materials for various applications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1021\/acsnano.1c07755","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,12]],"date-time":"2021-11-12T09:53:45Z","timestamp":1636710825000},"page":"18354-18362","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":147,"title":["Highly\nStretchable, Crack-Insensitive and Compressible\nCeramic Aerogel"],"prefix":"10.1021","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1707-3102","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Lei","family":"Su","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Xi\u2019an Jiaotong University , , ,","place":["Xi\u2019an, China, 710049"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0043-2885","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Hongjie","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Xi\u2019an Jiaotong University , , ,","place":["Xi\u2019an, China, 710049"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shuhai","family":"Jia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Xi\u2019an Jiaotong University , , ,","place":["Xi\u2019an, China, 710049"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sheng","family":"Dai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"East China University of Science and Technology , , ,","place":["Shanghai, China, 200237"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Min","family":"Niu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Xi\u2019an Jiaotong University , , ,","place":["Xi\u2019an, China, 710049"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Junqiang","family":"Ren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lanzhou University of Technology , , ,","place":["Lanzhou, China, 730050"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xuefeng","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lanzhou University of Technology , , ,","place":["Lanzhou, China, 730050"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhixin","family":"Cai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Xi\u2019an Jiaotong University , , ,","place":["Xi\u2019an, China, 710049"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"De","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Xi\u2019an Jiaotong University , , ,","place":["Xi\u2019an, China, 710049"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mingzhu","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Xi\u2019an Jiaotong University , , ,","place":["Xi\u2019an, China, 710049"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Liang","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Xi\u2019an Jiaotong University , , ,","place":["Xi\u2019an, China, 710049"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sheng-Wu","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Xi\u2019an Jiaotong University , , ,","place":["Xi\u2019an, China, 710049"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lei","family":"Zhuang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Xi\u2019an Jiaotong University , , ,","place":["Xi\u2019an, China, 710049"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5270-4796","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Kang","family":"Peng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Xi\u2019an Jiaotong University , , ,","place":["Xi\u2019an, China, 710049"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"316","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026081810253338300_cit1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"622","DOI":"10.1126\/science.284.5414.622","article-title":"Silica Sol as a Nanoglue: Flexible Synthesis of Composite\nAerogels","volume":"284","author":"Morris","year":"1999","journal-title":"Science"},{"key":"2026081810253338300_cit2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"4243","DOI":"10.1021\/cr0101306","article-title":"Chemistry of Aerogels\nand Their Applications","volume":"102","author":"Pierre","year":"2002","journal-title":"Chem.
