The development of new structural materials with thermal insulation properties is urgently need in the construction of smart buildings. Besides, there is a need to develop environmentally friendly and sustainable concrete mix designs. Lignosulfonate (LS) macromolecule and graphene oxide (GO) were used to prepare non-autoclaved aerated concrete (NAC). The addition of a complex GO/LS additive of the composition (0.16/0.0002 wt%) increased the compressive strength by 54 %, and bending strength by 45 % at the age of 28 days' strength gain. The addition of an effective complex GO/LS additive to NAC made it possible to achieve a reduction in water absorption by up to 63 % and thermal conductivity by up to 29 % in comparison. The thermal conductivity coefficient of such NAC specimens was 0.092 W/m·K with water absorption of 9 %. The options for the interactions of the GO/LS modifier with calcium hydroaluminates using the type of ion exchange were proposed. Thus, the introduction of GO/LS nano modifier contributed to high-quality filling of free areas of the cement mixture with mineral formations, which helpd to increase the strength of the aerated concrete and its durability.
