Even in extreme temperature conditions, the neural network-like aerogel-based composite PCMs work to improve the thermal management, solar-thermal conversion and microwave absorption in electronic devices.

Caption

As a result of the bionic design of the neural network-like aerogel-based composite PCMs, both microwave absorption and thermal management are increased, and in colder climates the solar-thermal conversion can be used to heat devices for normal start-up and keep the device closer to an optimal performance temperature.
