Fabrications, Classifications, and Environmental Impact of PCM-Incorporated Textiles: Current State and Future Outlook

“…This heat absorption acts as a barrier against heat gain by preventing external heat from accessing the material, as discussed by Arumugam et al in their latest study . This excellent property of PCM leads to making jackets with PCM coating to save from cold …”

Rationally designed carbon-encapsulated manganese selenide composites from metal–organic frameworks for stable aqueous Zn–Mn batteries

“…), which makes it possible to obtain a wide range of electrode materials with unique structures and morphologies by changing the elemental species and modulating the modication methods. 20,21 For example, Lou's group obtained Mn 2 O 3 -ZnMn 2 O 4 hollow octahedra with heterostructures (MO-ZMO HOs) through a two-step reaction using a solvothermal method and high-temperature annealing, respectively. 22 The MO-ZMO HOs exhibited highly reversible specic capacity (247.4 mA h g −1 at 0.1 A g −1 ), good rate performance (120.2 mA h g −1 at 5.0 A g −1 ), and excellent cycling performance (93.3% capacity retention aer 2000 cycles).…”

Micro/Nano Encapsulated Phase Change Materials: Preparation, Principle, and Emerging Advances in Medical Field

“…Due to their unique thermal energy storage properties, PCMs have been widely used in aerospace, [ 7 ] construction, [ 8 ] textiles, [ 9 ] military, and automobiles. [ 10 ] In order to harness the properties of PCMs more effectively, researchers utilize various encapsulation methods to encase these materials, thereby protecting them.…”
