The demand for a low-carbon lifestyle stimulates the high-efficiency utilization of solar energy despite its low conversion rate and intermittent nature. Based on this, a combined form of difunctional phase change composites (PCCs) integrated with phase change materials (PCMs) and photothermal conversion materials is put forward, which can simultaneously convert and store-release energy from the sunlight. First, CuS particles are in situ grown and deposited on the framework of a macroporous polyurethane foam (PUF) carrier to adsorb KAl(SO4)2·1...
