With the global emphasis on sustainable development, the development of environmentally friendly and sustainable bio-renewable resources has gradually become the focus. Biomass aerogel, as a new type of porous material, not only possesses the excellent characteristics of traditional aerogel, such as high mechanical strength, low density, high porosity and large specific surface area, but also has the unique advantages of being widely sourced, non-toxic, bioco-mpatible and biodegradable. However, as the surface of biomass materials is ri-ch in hydrophilic groups, they are prone to absorb water, leading to the destru-ction of aerogel structure and the reduction of mechanical properties, which affects the stability of their practical applications. For this reason, in recent years, we have devoted ourselves to the modification and composite treatment of bio-mass aerogels, and have studied the modification mechanism in depth, and have achieved remarkable results. In this paper, from the perspective of flame retardant insulation, several common biomass aerogels are reviewed to prepare new flame retardant materials by compounding with polymers and inorganic materias, and the prospect of their application in flame retardant field is also prospected, aiming to provide new ideas for the preparation of new biomass aerogel materials with excellent application stability.
