Integration of efficient photothermal and flexible solid-solid PCM for personal thermoregulation in cold environments

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: ) and a high phase transition enthalpy (184 kJ/kg), and the absorptivity exceeds 90%. The phase change composite is capable of performing efficient photothermal phase change heat storage in extreme cold environments (such as at Zhongshan Station in Antarctica) and maintaining a temperature above 16°C for 8 h, thereby demonstrating significant application potential in wearable thermal management garments for personal thermoregulation.
