“…37 Generally, exible organic PCMs can be mainly divided into two categories, i.e., intrinsic exible PCMs and composite exible PCMs. [38][39][40][41] Typical intrinsic exible PCMs with phase transition properties are synthesized by connecting polyethylene glycol molecules to polymer chains. [42][43][44] However, the preparation of intrinsic exible PCMs involves the use of toxic reagents and a decrease in phase change enthalpy.…”

“…In recent years, principle of solid‐to‐solid (S–S) phase transition has been developed to prepare advanced heterostructures. [ 159 ] For instance, S–S phase transformation can help to customize the phase of transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDs) that have held great promise for electrolysis, supercapacitors, batteries, etc. [ 94 ] Given there is a very small difference between the free energy of semiconducting 2 H phase and metallic 1 T′ phase MoTe 2 , the S–S transformation of MoTe 2 normally occur.…”

Precise synthesis of high‐quality, sophisticated heterostructures by ordered assembly of small nanomaterials is a key step to gain advanced materials that have elaborate functionalities, collective properties, and enhanced stabilities for mitigating the energy and environment crisis. Intricating in the structure, size, and shape of nanomaterials, ordered assembly of isotropic or anisotropic nanoscale building blocks to create specified heterostructures remains challenging, owing to the extraordinary challenges in design of lattice topology of distinct nanounits and in control of their crystallization, growth, and assembly mechanism/kinetics. Herein, the emerging methodologies to prepare a diversity of ordered heterostructures with strengthened particle–particle interaction are examined and synergistic properties are enhanced. It is aimed to unlock the principles to regulate the geometrical and electronic properties of these intriguing kinds of heterostructures for respective sustainable energy and environmental applications. Current challenges and opportunities in customization of ordered heterostructure at the nanoscale and atomic level are also discussed.

“…Another interesting aspect of phase behavior that has not yet been well explored is the use of solid−solid transitions to store thermal energy. 214 Solid−solid PCMs have several advantages over solid−liquid PCMs, including: (i) the phase transition occurs with negligible volume change, (ii) the supercooling is usually very small, and (iii) there are less stability issues (thermal decomposition, evaporation etc.) as the material will store the energy in a solid state that is usually more stable than the liquid phase.…”

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.
