Chinese researchers develop advanced composite phase change materials for electronics

Summary: Chinese researchers at Beijing Normal University developed multifunctional composite phase change materials (PCMs) to enhance electronic devices' temperature regulation, solar-thermal conversion, and microwave absorption. The neural network-inspired aerogel-based composite PCMs improve thermal management and microwave absorption efficiency. Solar-thermal conversion efficiency exceeds 95%, with a thermal storage capacity of 122.19 J/g. The study was funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China.
