Abstract

In recent years

with the increasing demand for efficient thermal management technologies in fields such as electronic devices and chips

and functional metamaterials

research on the regulation of heat flow has gradually become an important interdisciplinary direction in thermal science and materials science. Among these

the thermal rectification effect based on phase change materials has attracted widespread attention from researchers worldwide. This paper systematically reviews the research progress of phase change materials in the field of thermal rectification. First

it introduces the latest research advances in solid-solid and solid-liquid phase change materials based on different material phase transitions

and analyzes the design differences among various thermal rectifiers. Then

it focuses on the construction and optimization of various thermal rectification devices based on phase change materials

including the improvement of thermal rectification performance through heterojunction design

interface engineering

and material compounding. Finally

the paper reviews the progress in the application of thermal rectification materials in electronic device chip heat dissipation

energy system and building energy-saving thermal management

and novel metamaterials. It discusses a series of key issues and challenges

including precise control of phase transition temperature and range

improvement of the thermal rectification (TR) ratio

and further enhancement of cyclic stability. The paper also looks forward to future research trends in next-generation intelligent thermal management. Based on existing research results

the paper proposes methods such as doping or compositing polymers with high thermal conductivity materials

interface strengthening and micro/nano encapsulation

and asymmetric gradient structure design to optimize the phase transition temperature range and further improve thermal rectification performance

providing guidance for the design of high-performance thermal rectification materials.
