Fluidic phase-change materials with continuous latent heat from theoretically tunable ternary metals for efficient thermal management.

ABSTRACT: Phase-change materials (PCMs), as important energy storage materials (ESMs), have been widely used in heat dissipation for electronics. However, PCMs are encountering huge challenges since the extremely limited space in microelectronics largely suppresses the applied volume of PCMs, which demands excellent PCMs that can fully utilize the valuable latent heat. This work successfully found a universal strategy toward powerful ESMs from fluidic ternary metals (TMs, GaInSn as a representative TM in this work). TMs exhibit high thermal conductivity (20.3 W m^-1 K^-1) and significantly effective latent heat (115 J/cm³) and, more important, show continuous phase transition and full utilization of the valuable latent heat. Interestingly, theoretical prediction throug
