Abstract

Benefiting from the light-capturing function of black surface and energy storage function of antifreeze proteins, antifreeze beetles are capable of surviving in extreme environments. Inspired by the smart thermal management system integrating photothermal conversion and thermal energy storage functions of antifreeze beetles, recently, Du et al. infiltrated organic phase change materials (PCMs) into MXene/bacterial cellulose hybrid aerogels (AGs) for photothermal conversion and thermal energy storage. The marriage of AGs for thermal insulation and AG-based composite PCMs for photothermal conversion and storage can be applied to synergistic thermal management in extreme environments.
