Abstract
Phase change materials (PCMs) possess the potential to regulate temperature by utilizing their thermal properties to absorb and release heat. Nevertheless, the application of PCMs in thermal management is constrained by issues such as liquid leakage and limited flexibility. In this study, we propose a novel approach to address these challenges by incorporating a pore structure within nanofibers to confine the crystallization of phase change molecules, thereby enhancing the flexibility of the composite material. Additionally, inspired by the adaptive mechanisms observed in plants, we have developed a form stable PCM based on polyether, which effectively mitigates the issue of liquid leakage at higher temperatures. Despite being a solid-liquid PCM at its core, this material exhibits molecular-scale flow and macroscopic shape stability as a result of intermolecular forces. The composite film material possesses remarkable flexibility, efficient thermal management capabilities, adjustable phase transition temperature, and the ability to undergo repeated processing and utilization. Consequently, it holds promising potential for applications in personal thermal energy management.

Abstract
Energy and environmental issues have increasingly garnered significant attention for sustainable development. Flexible and shape-stable phase change materials display great potential in regulation of environmental temperature for energy saving and human comfort. Here, inspired by the water absorption behavior of salt-tolerant animals and plants in salinity environment and the Hofmeister theory, highly stable phase change salogels (PCSGs) are fabricated through in situ polymerization of hydrophilic monomers in molten salt hydrates, which can serve multiple functions including thermal management patches, smart windows, and ice blocking coatings. The gelation principles of the polymer in high ion concentration solution are explored through the density functional theory simulation and verified the feasibility of four types of salt hydrates. The high concentration chaotropic ions strongly interacted with polymer chains and promoted the gelation at low polymer concentrations which derive highly-stable and ultra-moisturizing PCSGs with high latent heat (> 200 J g-1). The synergistic adhesion and transparency switching abilities accompanied with phase transition enable their smart thermal management. The study resolves the melting leakage and thermal cycling stability of salt hydrates, and open an avenue to fabricate flexible PCM of low cost, high latent heat, and long-term durability for energy-saving, ice-blocking, and thermal management.

Ultra-high Performance Thermochromic Polymers via a Solid-solid Phase Transition Mechanism and Their Applications. ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2024:e2405430.

Abstract
Thermochromic materials are substances that change color in response to temperature variations. Today, sustainability concerns are the main drivers of thermochromic research, with smart, energy-efficient windows being one of the primary applications. While vanadium oxides and leuco dyes are traditionally the main thermochromic materials, hydrogels operating based on change of solvation have risen as some of the most promising materials due to their high optical transparency and good solar modulating abilities. In this work, a distinct mechanism for thermochromism arising from the crystalline solid to amorphous solid polymer transition, with a corresponding transition from an opaque state to a transparent state is disclosed. Both ultra-high optical transparency (Tlum up to 99%) and ultra-high solar modulation (ΔTsolar up to 87%) are observed. The transition temperature is tunable from 11 to 61 °C by tuning the polymer structure. When incorporated into applications such as greenhouse materials and thermoelectric devices, significant performance enhancement is observed, due to the thermochromic material functioning as a thermal valve, speeding up solar heat absorbance while inhibiting the cooling process via its phase transition.

Abstract
Inorganic hydrated salt phase change materials (PCMs) hold promise for improving the energy conversion efficiency of thermal systems and facilitating the exploration of renewable thermal energy. Hydrated salts, however, often suffer from low thermal conductivity, supercooling, phase separation, leakage and poor solar absorptance. In recent years, compounding hydrated salts with functional carbon materials has emerged as a promising way to overcome these shortcomings and meet the application demands. This work reviews the recent progress in preparing carbon-enhanced hydrated salt phase change composites for thermal management applications. The intrinsic properties of hydrated salts and their shortcomings are firstly introduced. Then, the advantages of various carbon materials and general approaches for preparing carbon-enhanced hydrated salt PCM composites are briefly described. By introducing representative PCM composites loaded with carbon nanotubes, carbon fibers, graphene oxide, graphene, expanded graphite, biochar, activated carbon and multifunctional carbon, the ways that one-dimensional, two-dimensional, three-dimensional and hybrid carbon materials enhance the comprehensive thermophysical properties of hydrated salts and affect their phase change behavior is systematically discussed. Through analyzing the enhancement effects of different carbon fillers, the rationale for achieving the optimal performance of the PCM composites, including both thermal conductivity and phase change stability, is summarized. Regarding the applications of carbon-enhanced hydrate salt composites, their use for the thermal management of electronic devices, buildings and the human body is highlighted. Finally, research challenges for further improving the overall thermophysical properties of carbon-enhanced hydrated salt PCMs and pushing towards practical applications and potential research directions are discussed. It is expected that this timely review could provide valuable guidelines for the further development of carbon-enhanced hydrated salt composites and stimulate concerted research efforts from diverse communities to promote the widespread applications of high-performance PCM composites.

Abstract
Phase change materials (PCMs) present a dual thermal management functionality through intrinsic thermal energy storage (TES) capabilities while maintaining a constant temperature. However, the practical application of PCMs encounters challenges, primarily stemming from their low thermal conductivity and shape-stability issues. Despite significant progress in the development of solid-solid PCMs, which offer superior shape-stability compared to their solid-liquid counterparts, they compromise TES capacity. Herein, a universal phase engineering strategy is introduced to address these challenges. The approach involves compositing solid-liquid PCM with a particulate-based conductive matrix followed by surface reaction to form a solid-solid PCM shell, resulting in a core-shell composite with enhanced thermal conductivity, high thermal storage capacity, and optimal shape-stability. The core-shell structure designed in this manner not only encapsulates the energy-rich solid-liquid PCM core but also significantly enhances TES capacity by up to 52% compared to solid-solid PCM counterparts. The phase-engineered high-performance PCMs exhibit excellent thermal management capabilities by reducing battery cell temperature by 15 °C and demonstrating durable solar-thermal-electric power generation under cloudy or no sunshine conditions. This proposed strategy holds promise for extending to other functional PCMs, offering a compelling avenue for the development of high-performance PCMs for thermal energy applications.

Recyclable Solid-Solid Phase Change Materials with Superior Latent Heat via Reversible Anhydride-Alcohol Crosslinking for Efficient Thermal Storage. ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2024; 36:e2311717.

Abstract
Solid-solid phase change materials (SSPCMs) with crosslinked polymer structures have received sustained interest due to their remarkable shape stability, enabling their application independently without the need for encapsulation or supporting materials. However, the crosslinking structure also compromises their latent heat and poses challenges to their recyclability. Herein, a novel strategy harnessing the internal-catalyzed reversible anhydride-alcohol crosslinking reaction to fabricate SSPCMs with superior latent heat and exceptional dual recyclability is presented. Easily accessible anhydride copolymers (e.g., propylene-maleic anhydride alternating copolymers), provide abundant reactive anhydride sites within the polymer matrix; polyethylene glycol serves as both the grafted phase change component and the crosslinker. The resulting SSPCMs attain a peak latent heat value of 156.8 J g-1 which surpasses all other reported recyclable crosslinked SSPCMs. The materials also exhibit certain flexibility and a tunable tensile strength ranging from 6.6 to 11.0 MPa. Beyond that, leveraging the reversible anhydride-alcohol crosslinks, the SSPCMs demonstrate dual recyclability through bond-exchange remolding and reversible-dissociation-enabled dissolving-recrosslinking without any reactive chemicals. Furthermore, by integrating solar-thermal conversion fillers like polydopamine nanoparticles, the potential of the system in efficient conversion, storage, and release of solar energy is highlighted.

Abstract
Solid-solid phase-change materials have great potential for developing compact and low-cost thermal storage systems. The solid-state nature of these materials enables the design of systems analogous to those based on natural rocks but with an extraordinarily higher energy density. In this scenario, the evaluation and improvement of the mechanical and thermophysical properties of these solid-solid PCMs are key to exploiting their full potential. In this study, LiNaSO4-based composites, comprising porous MgO and expanded graphite (EG) as the dispersed phases and LiNaSO4 as the matrix, have been prepared with the aim of enhancing the thermophysical and mechanical properties of LiNaSO4. The characteristic structure of MgO and the high degree of crystallinity of the EG600 confer on the LiNaSO4 sample mechanical stability, which leads to an increase in the Young's modulus (almost three times higher) compared to the pure LiNaSO4 sample. These materials are proposed as a suitable candidate for thermal energy storage applications at high temperatures (400-550 °C). The addition of 5 wt.% of MgO or 5% of EG had a minor influence on the solid-solid phase change temperature and enthalpy; however, other thermal properties such as thermal conductivity or specific heat capacity were increased, extending the scope of PCMs use.

Abstract
Solid-solid phase change materials (SSPCMs) are considered among the most promising candidates for thermal energy storage and management. However, the application of SSPCMs is consistently hindered by the canonical trade-off between high TES capacity and mechanical robustness. In addition, they suffer from poor recyclability due to chemical cross-linking. Herein, a straightforward but effective strategy for fabricating supramolecular SSPCMs with high latent heat and mechanical strength is proposed. The supramolecular polymer employs multiple H-bonding interactions as robust physical cross-links. This enables SSPCM with a high enthalpy of phase transition (142.5 J g-1 ), strong mechanical strength (36.9 MPa), and sound shape stability (maintaining shape integrity at 120 °C) even with a high content of phase change component (97 wt%). When SSPCM is utilized to regulate the operating temperature of lithium-ion batteries, it significantly diminishes the battery working temperature by 23 °C at a discharge rate of 3 C. The robust thermal management capability enabled through solid-solid phase change provides practical opportunities for applications in fast discharging and high-power batteries. Overall, this study presents a feasible strategy for designing linear SSPCMs with high latent heat and exceptional mechanical strength for thermal management.

Abstract
Limited by preparation time and ligand solubility, synthetic protocols for cyclodextrin-based metal-organic framework (CD-MOF), as well as subsequent derived materials with improved stability and properties, still remains a challenge. Herein, an ultrafast, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective microwave method is proposed, which is induced by graphene oxide (GO) to design CD-MOF/GOs. This applicable technique can control the crystal size of CD-MOFs from macro- to nanocrystals. CD-MOF/GOs are investigated as a new type of supramolecular adsorbent. It can selectively adsorb the dye molecule methylene green (MG) owing to the synergistic effect between the hydrophobic nanocavity of CDs, and the abundant O-containing functional groups of GO in the composites. Following high temperature calcination, the resulting N, S co-doped porous carbons derived from CD-MOF/GOs exhibit a high capacitance of 501 F g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 , as well as stable cycling stability with 90.1% capacity retention after 5000 cycles. The porous carbon exhibits good electrochemical performance due to its porous surface containing numerous electrochemically active sites after dye adsorption and carbonization. The design strategy by supramolecular incorporating a variety of active molecules into CD-MOFs optimizes the properties of their derived materials, furthering development toward the fabrication of zeitgeisty and high-performance energy storage devices.

Abstract
Conventional polymeric phase change materials (PCMs) have been widely used due to their high heat storage density, small temperature variation, and nontoxicity. However, the high flammability and unrecyclable problems restrict their applications in energy storage devices (ESDs). Although it is facile to introduce a flame retardant into phase change materials to improve fire resistance, the physical blending will deteriorate the mechanical performance and thermal stability of PCMs. Herein, flame-retardant solid-solid PCMs (FRPCMs) with intrinsic flame retardancy, phase change property, self-healing, and recyclability were synthesized by simultaneously integrating tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) into polyurethane network skeletons. PEG ingredients acted as phase change materials, and TBBPA not only worked as an efficient flame retardant but also provided dynamic covalent bonds for thermally induced self-healing and recyclability. FRPCMs possess the highest latent heat of 124.7 J/g, high self-healing ability, and high thermal reliability and recyclability. Besides, with the introduction of TBBPA, the limiting oxygen index (LOI) value and char residue significantly increased, the heat release rate (HRR) and total heat release (THR) values decreased, and most of the FRPCMs reached UL94 V-2 rating as well. Hence, the synthesized FRPCMs could expand the application scope of PCMs for thermal energy storage.

Abstract
Using in situ atomic-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy, atomic movements and rearrangements associated with diffusive solid to solid phase transformations in the Pt-Sn system are captured to reveal details of the underlying atomistic mechanisms that drive these transformations. In the PtSn4 to PtSn2 phase transformation, a periodic superlattice substructure and a unique intermediate structure precede the nucleation and growth of the PtSn2 phase. At the atomic level, all stages of the transformation are templated by the anisotropic crystal structure of the parent PtSn4 phase. In the case of the PtSn2 to Pt2Sn3 transformation, the anisotropy in the structure of product Pt2Sn3 dictates the path of transformation. Analysis of atomic configurations at the transformation front elucidates the diffusion pathways and lattice distortions required for these phase transformations. Comparison of multiple Pt-Sn phase transformations reveals the structural parameters governing solid to solid phase transformations in this technologically interesting intermetallic system.

Abstract
The fundamental requirements for thermal comfort along with the unbalanced growth in the energy demand and consumption worldwide have triggered the development and innovation of advanced materials for high thermal-management capabilities. However, continuous development remains a significant challenge in designing thermally robust materials for the efficient thermal management of industrial devices and manufacturing technologies. The notable achievements thus far in nanopolyhybrid design technologies include multiresponsive energy harvesting/conversion (e.g., light, magnetic, and electric), thermoregulation (including microclimate), energy saving in construction, as well as the miniaturization, integration, and intelligentization of electronic systems. These are achieved by integrating nanomaterials and polymers with desired engineering strategies. Herein, fundamental design approaches that consider diverse nanomaterials and the properties of nanopolyhybrids are introduced, and the emerging applications of hybrid composites such as personal and electronic thermal management and advanced medical applications are highlighted. Finally, current challenges and outlook for future trends and prospects are summarized to develop nanopolyhybrid materials.

Functional phase change materials (PCMs) capable of reversibly storing and releasing tremendous thermal energy during the isothermal phase change process have recently received tremendous attention in interdisciplinary applications. The smart integration of PCMs with functional supporting materials enables multiple cutting-edge interdisciplinary applications, including optical, electrical, magnetic, acoustic, medical, mechanical, and catalytic disciplines etc. Herein, we systematically discuss thermal storage mechanism, thermal transfer mechanism, and energy conversion mechanism, and summarize the state-of-the-art advances in interdisciplinary applications of PCMs. In particular, the applications of PCMs in acoustic, mechanical, and catalytic disciplines are still in their infancy. Simultaneously, in-depth insights into the correlations between microscopic structures and thermophysical properties of composite PCMs are revealed. Finally, current challenges and future prospects are also highlighted according to the up-to-date interdisciplinary applications of PCMs. This review aims to arouse broad research interest in the interdisciplinary community and provide constructive references for exploring next generation advanced multifunctional PCMs for interdisciplinary applications, thereby facilitating their major breakthroughs in both fundamental researches and commercial applications.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) superstructure nanomaterials with special morphologies and novel properties have attracted considerable attention in the fields of optics, catalysis, and energy storage. The introduction of high entropy into ammonium phosphate (NPO·nH2O) has not yet attracted much attention in the field of energy storage materials. Herein, we systematically synthesize a series of 3D superstructures of NPOs·nH2O ranging from unitary, binary, ternary, and quaternary to high-entropy by a simple chemical precipitation method. These materials have similar morphology, crystallinity, and synthesis routes, which eliminates the performance difference caused by the interference of physical properties. Subsequently, cobalt-nickel ammonium phosphate (CoxNiy-NPO·nH2O) powders with different cobalt-nickel molar ratios were synthesized to predict the promoting effect of mixed transition metals in supercapacitors. It is found that the CoxNiy-NPO·nH2O 3D superstructures with a Co/Ni ratio of 1:1 show the best electrochemical performance for energy storage. The aqueous device shows a high energy density of 36.18 W h kg-1 at a power density of 0.71 kW kg-1, and when the power density is 0.65 kW kg-1, the energy density of the solid-state device is 13.83 W h kg-1. The work displays a facile method for the fabrication of 3D superstructures assembled by 2D nanosheets that can be applied in energy storage.

Abstract
Thermal energy storage technologies utilizing phase change materials (PCMs) that melt in the intermediate temperature range, between 100 and 220 °C, have the potential to mitigate the intermittency issues of wind and solar energy. This technology can take thermal or electrical energy from renewable sources and store it in the form of heat. This is of particular utility when the end use of the energy is also as heat. For this purpose, the material should have a phase change between 100 and 220 °C with a high latent heat of fusion. Although a range of PCMs are known for this temperature range, many of these materials are not practically viable for stability and safety reasons, a perspective not often clear in the primary literature. This review examines the recent development of thermal energy storage materials for application with renewables, the different material classes, their physicochemical properties, and the chemical structural origins of their advantageous thermal properties. Perspectives on further research directions needed to reach the goal of large scale, highly efficient, inexpensive, and reliable intermediate temperature thermal energy storage technologies are also presented.
