PCMs are materials that absorb and release thermal energy through changes in their physical state. They can be categorized as liquid-gas, solid-solid, solid-gas, and solid-liquid, depending on their ...
Advanced thermal energy storage is playing an increasingly important role in improving the performance and reliability of solar energy systems. In this ...
Researchers from Bangladesh and Australia have explored hybrid nano-phase change materials (HNPCMs) for PVT applications. They used paraffin wax as the phase-change material (PCM), incorporating ...
Chitin-derived carbon aerogel prevents leakage in phase change materials, boosting durable and sustainable heat storage.
The effects of cycles of compression and relaxation during Earth’s early lifetime can be studied using a combination of fast ...
Incorporating a phase-change material into concrete, researchers have created a self-heating material that can melt snow and ice for up to 10 hours without using salt or shovels. The novel material ...
