Linghang Wang, Huitao Yu, Wei Feng
Abstract
To meet the demands of the global energy transition, photothermal phase change energy storage materials have emerged as an innovative solution. These materials, utilizing various photothermal conversion carriers, can passively store energy and respond to changes in light exposure, thereby enhancing the efficiency of energy systems. Photothermal phase change energy storage materials show immense potential in the fields of solar energy and thermal management, particularly in addressing the intermittency issues of solar power. Their multifunctionality and efficiency offer broad application prospects in new energy technologies, construction, aviation, personal thermal management, and electronics.
