The clinical applications of magnetic hyperthermia therapy (MHT) have been largely hindered by the poor magnetic-to-thermal conversion efficiency of MHT agents. Herein, we develop a facile and efficient strategy for engineering encapsulin-produced magnetic iron oxide nanocomposites (eMIONs) via a green biomineralization procedure. We demonstrate that eMIONs have excellent magnetic saturation and remnant magnetization properties, featuring superior magnetic-to-thermal conversion efficiency with an ultrahigh specific absorption rate of 2390 W/g to overcome the critical issues of MHT. We also show that eMIONs act as a nanozyme and have enhanced catalase-like activity in the presence of an alternative magnetic field, leading to tumor angiogenesis inhibition with a corresponding sharp decrease in the expression of HIF-1α. The inherent excellent magnetic-heat capability, coupled with catalysis-triggered tumor suppression, allows eMIONs to provide an MRI-guided magneto-catalytic combination therapy, which may open up a new avenue for bench-to-bed translational research of MHT.

The distinctive thermal energy storage properties of phase change materials (PCMs) are critical for solving energy issues. However, their inherently low thermal conductivity and limited energy conversion capability impede their applications in advanced thermal energy harvesting and storage systems. Herein, we developed magnetic composite PCMs with enhanced thermal conductivity for anisotropic photothermal and magnetic-to-thermal energy conversions.

A magnetic-to-thermal energy conversion, derived from the continuous modulation of intrinsic exchange energy, is conceived and studied by performing Monte Carlo simulations. On the basis of thermodynamics and Weiss's molecular field theories, we modified the Maxwell formula, where the magnetic entropy change (∆) is calculated by integrating the temperature derivative of magnetization under a continuously increasing exchange interaction, rather than an external magnetic field, from zero to a given value. For the conventional ∆ induced through increasing magnetic field, the ∆ maximum value is enhanced with increasing magnetic field, while the ∆ peak temperature is weakly influenced by the magnetic field.

Form-stable phase change materials (PCMs) have garnered tremendous attention in thermal energy storage (TES) owing to their remarkable latent heat. However, the integration of intelligent manufacturing, recycling, and optimized multifunction is considered not feasible for form-stable PCMs due to the restriction of encapsulation technology. Here, an excellent polymer encapsulation strategy is proposed to prepare 3D printable, sustainable, and reliable form-stable PCMs (Si), which are universal for petroleum-based and biobased long alkyl compounds.

However, the low thermal conductivity, low electrical conductivity, and weak photoabsorption of pure PCMs hinder their wider applicability and development. To overcome these deficiencies and improve the utilization efficiency of thermal energy, versatile carbon materials have been increasingly considered as supporting materials to construct shape-stabilized composite PCMs.

The clinical introduction of magnetic hyperthermia therapy (MHT) has been hindered by current available agents with poor magnetic-to-thermal conversion efficiency and biocompatibility. It is believed that the genetically engineered magnetic nanocages of encapsulin-produced magnetic iron oxide nanocomposites (eMIONs) have great potential as clinically translatable MHT agents for cancer magneto-catalytic theranostics.
