Abstract Enhancing the firefighting protective clothing with exceptional thermal barrier and temperature sensing functions to ensure high fire safety for firefighters has long been anticipated, but it remains a major challenge. Herein, inspired by human muscle, an anisotropic aerogel (ACMCA) precise self-actuated monitoring performance is developed combining aramid nanofibers eicosane/MXene form anisotropically oriented conductive network. By two synergies of negative temperature-dependent eicosane, which induces high-temperature differential, directionally ordered MXene that establishes network along directional freezing direction. The resultant ACMCA exhibited remarkable thermoelectric properties, S values reaching 46.78 μV K −1 κ as low 0.048 W m at room temperature. Moreover, prepared electrical responsiveness variations, facilitating its application in intelligent systems. designed could be incorporated into layer, demonstrating wide range (50–400 °C) rapid response time early alerts (~ 1.43 s). This work provides novel insights design temperature-sensitive clothing.
