Abstract
Multifunctional wearable heaters have attracted much attention for their effective applications in personal thermal management and medical therapy. Compared to passive heating, Joule heating offers significant advantages in terms of reusability, reliable temperature control, and versatile coupling. Joule-heated fabrics make wearable electronics smarter. This review critically discusses recent advances in Joule-heated smart fabrics, focusing on various fabrication strategies based on material-structure synergy. Specifically, various applicable conductive materials with Joule heating effect are first summarized. Subsequently, different preparation methods for Joule heating fabrics are compared, and then their various applications in smart clothing, healthcare, and visual indication are discussed. Finally, the challenges faced in developing these smart Joule heating fabrics and their possible solutions are discussed.

Abstract
By virtue of their capacity to absorb and release energy during the phase change process, phase change materials (PCMs) are ideal for personal thermal management (PTM). The combination of reduced graphene oxide/cellulose sodium aerogel (rGCA) and lauric acid/myristic acid binary eutectic phase change gel (LMG) creates a composite phase change material that possesses outstanding photothermal conversion capabilities, electro-thermal conversion capabilities, energy storage capabilities, and shape-stable performance. The results showed that rGCA had a maximum adsorption efficiency of 99.7% with a melting latent heat of 124.6 J g-1. The high absorption rate of rGCA to LMG is a result of the capillary force, pore characteristics, hydrogen bonding, and the π-π interaction. Notably, rGCA and LMG composite material (rGCG) exhibited an excellent photothermal conversion efficiency of 96.5% and electro-thermal conversion of 82.3%. Results indicate that binary eutectic phase change materials are more suitable for temperature regulation than single phase change materials, making them more suitable for PTM. It is anticipated that the innovative thermal comfort solution, which provides thermal shielding, thermal energy storage, self-supporting characteristics, and wearability, will offer new possibilities for the next generation of wearable PTMs.

Abstract
Composite phase change materials (PCMs) are of great importance for the storage and conversion of energy. In this study, a multishell metal oxide hollow microsphere (CuOHS) was prepared by the hydrothermal method, and a new composite PCM (CuOHS@PCMs) for energy storage and conversion purposes was developed by effectively absorbing fatty amines [namely, tetradecylamine (TDA), hexadecylamine (HDA), and octadecylamine (ODA)] PCMs into the CuOHS via the abundant micropores located on the surface of the microsphere. The incorporation of uncontaminated phase alteration substances with CuOHS yields superior light absorption and leak prevention traits. The three CuOHS@PCMs, specifically CuOHS@TDA, CuOHS@HDA, and CuOHS@ODA, possess considerable latent heats of 198.8, 192.6, and 196.0 J·g-1, respectively, and exhibit desirable thermal properties even after completing 50 and 100 thermal cycles. Moreover, under illumination, the photothermal conversion efficiencies of the three variations of CuOHS@PCMs were 84.0, 81.4, and 78.0%. This CuOHS@PCMs, which are based on CuOHS, have considerable potential in the fields of photothermal conversion, solar energy harvesting, and storage.
