TL;DR: In this article, a review summarizes the recent advancement and critical issues of nanoconfinement technologies of phase change materials from the point of view of material design, and the potential applications of nan-fined PCMs in diverse fields, including energy conversion and storage, thermal rectification and temperature controlled drug delivery systems, are presented in detail.

TL;DR: The evolved structure served as a robust Pt-free electrocatalyst with excellent activity for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in an alkaline electrolyte solution and displayed exceptional capacitance and rate capability in a supercapacitor.

TL;DR: In this paper, a hierarchically porous hybrid electrode composed of α-NiS nanorods decorated on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) derived from water-refluxed metal-organic frameworks/rGO (Ni-MOF-74/RGO) templates is presented.

TL;DR: In this article, a polyethylene glycol (PEG) based solid-solid phase change composites (PCCs) are integrated into carbon nanotube sponge (CNTS) to fabricate a dual form-stable, flexible and highly conductive PCC.

TL;DR: In this article, the thermal energy storage properties and host-guest interactions in a phase change composite based on octadecanol/carbon aerogels were investigated, and the loaded active materials showed distinct phase transition behavior to the free octadeccanol, in which the solid-to-solid and solidto-liquid phase change processes occurred at a lower temperature and the interval between these two two processes became larger.
