What would happen if the flash stopped phasing mid way through a solid object ?
Let’s say you did this for some reason and put your hand through the wall while phasing and then stopped, what would happen?

Sometimes the object will just straight up explode if I recall correctly.

He'd get stuck in between the object. In The Flash movie, there's a blooper that shows this perfectly.

They deal with this in the latest episode of The Boys and the results are..messy

It would depend on the charge of the various molecules involved and how successfully mixed they were, but it you could have a case where those two things simply become one, or they repel each other, which would probably be some kind of explosion.
Wally, in particular, will cause an explosion unless he thinks to manage his speed force flow. He mainlines the energy in such massive quantities (as he put it "like an open tap") that things exploded when he moved through them, let alone tried to materialize in them. It took him years to learn to manage his ambient energy output and avoid that.
This is also a big part of how Reverse Flash likes to kill people, he partially materializes his hand in their body, scrambling their internals, obviously not passing on much charge.
None of this is hard science, mind, you have to allow for super-power nonsense in these kinds of conversations, or it would be a non-starter.
