New insights into thermodynamics and microstructure of AdS black holes

Recently, black hole thermodynamics and phase transition have been studied in the extended phase space. Besides the VdW-like phase transition, more interesting phase transitions were found. More interestingly, combining with the thermodynamic geometry, the microstructure of black holes was investigated.In this paper, we give a brief review of recent progress on this subject.
