Construction of high thermal conductivity MOFs composite phase change materials with reinforced light-to-thermal conversion

Electrostatic potential-derived charge: a universal OER performance descriptor for MOFs

“…Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a type of materials assembled by SBUs and organic ligands according to a certain topological structure [1,2] . Owing to their nature of large specific surface area, penetrating pore structure, abundant and atomically dispersed coordination unsaturated active sites (CUS), flexible tunability of composition and structure, etc., these materials have been extensively studied in molecular storage/sieving [3][4][5][6][7] , catalysis [8][9][10] , sensors [11][12][13] , batteries [14,15] and phase transitions [16][17][18] . During the past six years, over 100,000 MOFs have been collected in the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) [19,20] and the number keeps on rising dramatically.…”

[16][17][18] During the past six years, over 100 000 MOFs have been collected in the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) 19,20 and the number keeps on increasing dramatically. This, however, makes it challenging for conventional trial-and-error experiments to identify promising MOFs for high-performance functional applications.…”

Fabrication and Properties of n‐Octadecane/Nano‐MgO/Expanded Graphite as a Thermal Storage Material

“…With their high latent heat capacity during the melting and solidifying process to store heat energy at a constant temperature, PCM are applied in various fields, such as in heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems 3, energy savings of buildings 4, and thermal management 5. Besides, PCM can be applied to other fields, including solar energy utilization 6, 7, solar heat storage systems 8, 9, waste heat recovery systems 10, and various ice storage techniques 11. Therefore, PCM show good adapting ability and great application potential.…”
