Phase change energy storage technology has great potential for enhancing the efficient conversion and storage of energy. While triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) structures have shown promise in ...

Researchers reviewed 110 studies on cold thermal energy storage in liquid-air energy storage, finding that cold storage performance has a far greater impact on system efficiency than previously ...

Infrared cameras inform a convolutional neural network that determines the melt-fraction level of phase change materials.

The future of insulation and hot water is here with a revolutionary water heater. Heat pumps are among the most energy-efficient solutions for heating and cooling homes and producing hot water. A ...

Scientists at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) and the University of Leipzig in Germany have developed a new heat-storage material. They claim it improves the energy efficiency of ...

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 ...

A research team headed by Prof. Quan Shi from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has suggested a novel concept of “Spatiotemporal Phase Change ...
