Leaching and instability in wax-based phase change materials (PCMs) are serious
application problems. Herein, we developed paper-like (~ 100 µm) flexible, composite PCMs …

A phase change material (PCM) has an ability to store and release a large amount of energy
in a wide range of temperature by the latent heat of fusion upon melting and crystallization …

Lignin is a kind of natural green polymer with abundant active functional groups and
designable molecular structure. In this work, the quaternized lignosulfonate (QLS) with …

Recycling waste plastics has brought a global upsurge, but there are still troubles of high-
energy consumption and low utilization rates in the recovery process. Here, we present a …

To alleviate the exhaustion of petrochemical resources and reduce their use in the
polyurethane industry, biopolyols derived from dextrin and glycerol were prepared and used …

Thermal energy regulation is a significant challenge, contributing to over 30% of annual
greenhouse gas emission (GHG) emissions. Phase change materials (PCMs) offer a …
