TL;DR: In this article, the authors assess the advantages/disadvantages of porous materials via summarizing the key research progress on the porous materials (e.g., metal foams, expanded graphite, graphene aerogels, carbon nanotubes, porous minerals, mesoporous silica, etc.) as ss-PCMs supports.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of nanoporous shape-stabilized composite phase change materials (PCMs) for thermal energy storage is presented, highlighting the recent progress in the research of nanorefinite element nanopores, fabrication and characterization techniques, and especially the nanoconfinement effects of the porous support on the thermal properties of the PCMs confined in the nanopores.

TL;DR: In this article, four common transition-metal derived metal-organic frameworks have been extensively investigated as heterogeneous catalyst supports for Knoevenagel condensation reactions, and a simple post-synthetic modification strategy was employed for the rapid and facile introduction of a primary alkyl amino group.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper proposed a facile low-cost and controllable strategy to construct compactly interconnected 3D celosia-like highly graphitized thermally conductive network carbon via carbon quantum dots (CQDs) deriving from acetone and divinyl benzene (DVB).

TL;DR: In this article, surface functionalization was used to regulate the interactions between a polyethylene glycol (PEG) and internal/external surfaces of a support of SBA-15 and yield desirable thermal properties of PEG confined in porous supports.
