This paper thus reviews the thermophysical properties and synthesis of PCM composites, with a particular focus on the superiority of nano-engineered carbon materials (NeCMs) as a means to enhance PCM functionality. Techniques used to synthesize 0D, 1D, 2D, and 3D NeCMs and the atomic-level properties that influence their performance are described in relation to their dimensionality. The interactions that occur between NeCMs and PCMs, which are critical for multifunctionality of PCM composites, are also discussed. As a core objective, this review examines how the synthesis approaches for PCM-NeCM composites and their resulting morphological characteristics influence their thermal conductivity and photothermal efficiency. Phonon manipulation, localized heating, localized surface plasmon resonance, and interfacial thermal resistance (ITR) are identified as the key mechanisms that enhance thermal conduction and photothermal conversion of PCMs with the integration of NeCMs. Recent advancements are also highlighted to demonstrate the potential of these composites to optimize PCM technology for high-efficiency, multifunctional applications. This review ends by outlining the limitations and challenges associated with PCM, thus providing a framework for future advancements in PCM technology.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":306,"journal":{"name":"Energy Storage Materials","volume":"76 ","pages":"Article 104142"},"PeriodicalIF":18.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143477702","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we demonstrate that Li-foils with varying thicknesses possess distinct surface finishes and bulk-phase textures. As the extrusion-produced 200 μm Li foils are rich in inorganic surface species and (110)-texture, the 20 μm Li produced via rolling feature organic surface species and (100)-Li texture underneath. The surface finish and foil textures are rooted in the angled shear forces and rolling lubricant. Textured Li foils are conducive to epitaxial Li deposition however the native surface passivation layer perturbs the substrate-deposits intimacy and degrades its electrochemical reversibility. Mechanical and chemical polishing were employed to refine the Li surface finish, only the latter achieves an ideal surface finish that reinstates epitaxial Li-electrodeposition. This engenders textured Li deposits, greatly improving the lifespan of lithium metal anodes.

However, limited research has been conducted on how calendar aging influences subsequent cycling performance. This study addresses the gap by examining the effects of state-of-charge (SoC) during short-term low-temperature storage on both calendar aging and cycling degradation in LIBs with high-nickel cathodes. The findings demonstrate that high SoC storage accelerates calendar aging by causing structural degradation at the cathode-electrolyte interface (CEI), leading to phase transitions and increased mechanical stress. However, these conditions also enhance cycling stability by promoting surface reconstruction of the high-nickel cathode, which reduces lattice strain and mitigates detrimental phase transformations. The surface reconstruction improves lithium-ion diffusion and stabilizes the crystal structure, resulting in less mechanical degradation during cycling. Conversely, low SoC storage leads to reduced structural degradation during calendar aging, but the lack of an inert protective layer on the cathode surface causes lattice strain and phase transitions during lithium intercalation, resulting in microcracks that compromise the cathode structure. Concurrently, transition metal dissolution, migration, and deposition accelerate anode degradation by promoting interfacial reactions, which exacerbate solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) formation and degradation, and consume reversible lithium ions. Storage is a critical process in the lifecycle of LIBs in electric vehicles (EVs), necessitating the development of advanced battery management strategies tailored to the SoC-dependent stabilities of active materials. These results emphasize the complex relationship between calendar and cycling aging, providing important insights into optimizing high-energy-density cathodes with long durability.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":306,"journal":{"name":"Energy Storage Materials","volume":"76 ","pages":"Article 104143"},"PeriodicalIF":18.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143477705","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such protective mechanism not only comes from the physical characteristics but also from the unique protonation interface effect of DE-ALK. As demonstrated, through a strong protonation reaction, the surface charge of DE-ALK shifts from negative to positive of +23.37 mV, result in effectively regulating the anode microenvironment.
