Nickel-cobalt sulfides (NCSs) with rich redox-active sites and remarkable theoretical capacitance have been regarded as promising electrode materials for supercapacitors. Various approaches have been developed for the synthesis of NCSs-based electrode materials. However, most of these methods require complex steps, high energy consumption, and time-consuming processes, which result in high cost, chemical contamination, and safety problems. Herein, we demonstrated a one-step ultrafast microwave approach for the successful preparation of NCS/graphene composite in 1 min. The prepared NCS/graphene composite can be used as a high-performance supercapacitor electrode with a high specific capacitance of 710 F g–1 at a current density of 0.5 A g–1 and a prominent cycling stability of 75% capacitance retention after 10 000 cycles. In addition, a high-performance asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) was assembled using NCS/graphene composite as a positive electrode and activated carbon as a negative electrode. The fabricated ASC can deliver a high energy density of 30.29 Wh kg–1 at a power density of 400 W kg–1 and exhibit excellent cycling stability with a capacitance retention of 112% after 10 000 cycles. These impressive results demonstrated that microwave synthesis can be used as a highly efficient and ultrafast approach for the preparation of high-performance NCSs-based electrode materials.

“…Conversely, organic PCMs (OPCMs) distinguish for low supercooling, ignorable phase change, nontoxicity, high energy capacity and chemical stability, exhibiting great potential in practical implements. [15][16][17] In this regard, we will only discuss shape-stabilized PCMs (SSPCMs) based on OPCMs in this review. For the SSPCMs, multiple energy forms such as electricity, magneticity and solar energy etc.…”

Organic phase change materials (OPCMs) are advanced energy storage materials with ability to storage and release thermal energy at constant temperature. Efficient energy storage systems using shape-stabilized PCMs (SSPCMs) are promising to adjust the gap between energy supply and demand. The performances of SSPCMs are influenced by multiple factors which are necessary to be considered in the fabrication process. In this regard, we summarized the desired properties for OPCMs and SSPCMs, then we systematically discussed the fabrication methods involving supporting materials, OPCMs and fillers. At last, we elaborated thermal storage applications of SSPCMs from three kinds of energy sources. This review intends to provide in-depth and constructive insights into the fabrication and energy storage applications of SSPCMs, thereby contributing to development and application of high-performance SSPCMs.

“…The use of PCMs in laminated composite structures has also made some advances recently [24]. Based on the recent review articles on PCM technologies, it can be argued that the development of form-stable, environmentally friendly organic PCMs modified with certain nanomaterials for increased thermal conductivity and structural stability is gaining high popularity among researchers [25][26][27]. Recent studies have found that combining metals with PCMs can significantly enhance heat storage performance due to much higher heat transfer coefficient of metals causing efficient heat transport.…”

Leaching and instability in wax-based phase change materials (PCMs) are serious application problems. Herein, we developed paper-like (~ 100 µm) flexible, composite PCMs by hydraulic compression of 1-cm-thick polyimide foams between an aluminum foil and a (nano) ceramic composite Parafilm®. An unfilled PCM film placed between the foam and the aluminum surface ensured strong adhesion between the collapsed foam and the metal. Different concentrations of nano-BN and micro-SiC particles were compounded into Parafilm® in order to optimize the thermal performance. Based on infrared imaging, the monoliths containing 30 wt% micro-SiC outperformed all other systems including BN/SiC hybrids. The next best thermal performance was observed with the 60 wt% nano-BN composite. Due to compression, the cellular structure of the polyimide foams collapsed irreversibly while being impregnated by the PCMs from both sides. High-k fillers improved impregnation into the collapsed foam and enabled excellent shape stability and leakage prevention. Graphical abstract
