Multiple H‐Bonding Cross‐Linked Supramolecular Solid–Solid Phase Change Materials for Thermal Energy Storage and Management

Solid-solid phase change materials (SSPCMs) are considered among the most promising candidates for thermal energy storage and management. However, the application of SSPCMs is consistently hindered by the canonical trade-off between high TES capacity and mechanical robustness. In addition, they suffer from poor recyclability due to chemical cross-linking. Herein, a straightforward but effective strategy for fabricating supramolecular SSPCMs with high latent heat and mechanical strength is proposed. The supramolecular polymer employs multiple H-bonding interactions as robust physical cross-links. This enables SSPCM with a high enthalpy of phase transition (142.5 J g
