Super insulating nano-spheres for appliance insulation and method for creating a super insulating nano-sphere material

An insulating material for an appliance insulating structure, the insulating material comprising:

• a plurality of hollow nano-spheres, wherein each hollow nano-sphere of the plurality of hollow nano-spheres includes a diameter in a range of from approximately 50 nanometers to approximately 1000 nanometers and has a wall that defines an internal space, and wherein the wall of each hollow nano-sphere has a thickness that is in a range of from approximately 1 percent to approximately 10 percent of the diameter of the hollow nano-sphere, wherein a coating is applied to exterior surfaces of the plurality of hollow nano-spheres, wherein the coating maintains the exterior surfaces of each hollow nano-sphere to be separated from the remaining hollow nano-spheres of the plurality of hollow nano-spheres;
• and
• a fill material disposed within an interstitial space defined between the plurality of hollow nano-spheres, wherein the fill material includes at least one of perlite and a silica-based material.
