The practicality of conventional solid–liquid phase change materials (PCMs) is adversely restricted by liquid phase leakage, large volume expansion, shape instability, and severe corrosion in high-temperature thermal management systems. This highlight presents the latest development to resolve these challenges by designing ultrahigh-performance high-temperature Ni-Mn-Ti solid–solid PCMs using martensitic phase transition strategy, offering a new paradigm to develop advanced wide-temperature high-temperature metallic solid–solid phase change thermal storage materials.
