Thermal energy storage (TES) using phase change materials (PCM) has been widely
investigated for various applications from very low to very high temperatures due to its …

The application of latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) technology in solar energy
systems is greatly restricted by the poor thermal conductivity of the phase change materials …

A key challenge in the deployment of practical latent heat energy storage systems
employing phase change materials is the inherent low thermal conductivity of these …

Phase change materials (PCM) are employed to store thermal energy in solar collectors,
heat pumps, heat recovery, hot and cold storage. PCMs are encapsulated primarily in shell …

In the building sector, 40% of final energy is used for heating and cooling. Up to 75% of this
