Research Spotlight: Nano-SiO₂ Boosts Water Diffusion Control in Natural Ester–Cellulose Systems





A new study explores how nano-silicon dioxide (SiO₂) influences water molecular diffusion at the liquid–solid interface between natural ester oils and cellulose, materials widely used in transformer insulation systems. Researchers found that nano-SiO₂ modifies interfacial interactions, reducing moisture migration and enhancing dielectric stability.

This breakthrough provides deeper insights into the mechanism of water diffusion, offering pathways to improve insulation reliability, longevity, and eco-friendliness in next-generation power transformers. By combining nanotechnology with sustainable ester-based fluids, the study bridges material science with energy system innovation.
