“…In this regard, versatile preparation strategies have been proposed to develop flexible composite PCMs. Typical fabrication method of flexible composite PCMs is infiltrating PCMs into flexible supporting materials, such as carbon sponges, carbon aerogels, polymeric elastomers, and flexible fibers. ,,, Ma et al prepared MWCNT-decorated cross-linkable polysiloxane to encapsulate paraffin for tailored solar-thermal energy conversion by a self-assembly method (Figure A, B). The solar-thermal conversion efficiency of composite PCMs was approximately 65% under 100 mW/cm 2 .…”

“…In addition to the above-mentioned common encapsulation strategies, the encapsulation of PCMs can also adopt a grafting strategy, sintering strategy, spinning strategy, and 3D printing strategy. The grafting strategy is the formation of copolymers by linking high melting point polymers with low melting point polymers through chemical bonds . When low melting point polymers change from the crystalline state to the amorphous state, the skeleton of high melting point polymers is not dissolved, which limits the flow of low melting point polymers.…”

“…The grafting strategy is the formation of copolymers by linking high melting point polymers with low melting point polymers through chemical bonds. 81 When low melting point polymers change from the crystalline state to the amorphous state, the skeleton of high melting point polymers is not dissolved, which limits the flow of low melting point polymers. Therefore, the overall materials remain solid, and the leakage problem is effectively solved.…”

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.

“…[4][5][6][7][8][9][10] Silica nanoparticles are also considered important nanomaterials having signicant applications, which have increased drastically during the last years, have attracted extensive attention, and are widely used due to their greater advantages over conventional nanoparticles; their projected market reached about $8.8 billion in 2020. [9][10][11][12] Many techniques are used to prepare silica nanoparticles (SiO 2 NPs), such as plasma manufacturing, chemical vapor deposition, microemulsion synthesis, combustion processing, sol-gel synthesis, and hydrothermal processes, 13 where such fabricated silica nanoparticles are classied into mesoporous and nanoporous nanoparticles. The sol-gel method is considered one of the most important and widely applied techniques utilized to prepare nanoparticles.…”

“…With the rapid development of the economy, the dual pressures brought by energy depletion and environmental pollution have forced mankind to continuously explore new renewable and clean energy sources [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ]. At the same time, the imbalance of energy supply and demand in space and time and low utilization efficiency further aggravate the waste of resources and environmental problems during energy development and utilization [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ]. Therefore, researchers also turn their attention to developing energy utilization technologies while exploring new energy sources to improve the effective utilization of existing energy sources.…”

Phase change materials (PCMs) can store/release heat from/to the external environment through their own phase change, which can reduce the imbalance between energy supply and demand and improve the effective utilization of energy. Biomass materials are abundant in reserves, from a wide range of sources, and most of them have a natural pore structure, which is a good carrier of phase change materials. Biomass-based composite phase change materials and their derived ones are superior to traditional phase change materials due to their ability to overcome the leakage of phase change materials during solid–liquid change. This paper reviews the basic properties, phase change characteristics, and binding methods of several phase change materials (polyethylene glycols, paraffins, and fatty acids) that are commonly compounded with biomass materials. On this basis, it summarizes the preparation methods of biomass-based composite phase change materials, including porous adsorption, microencapsulation based on biomass shell, and grafting by copolymerization and also analyzes the characteristics of each method. Finally, the paper introduces the latest research progress of multifunctional biomass-based composite phase change materials capable of energy storage and outlines the challenges and future research and development priorities in this field.
