All forms of energy follow the law of conservation of energy, by which they can be neither
created nor destroyed. Light-to-heat conversion as a traditional yet constantly evolving …

In order to overcome the increasing demand–supply energy gap due to the rapid
urbanization, labor productivity, consumerism and depletion of fossil fuel resources, there is …

To protect electronic devices and batteries from sharp temperature rise and thermal
runaway, active/passive/hybrid thermal management using phase change materials (PCMs) …

Phase change materials (PCMs) have been extensively characterized as promising energy
materials for thermal energy storage and thermal management to address the mismatch …

Since the buildings' heating and cooling needs are always growing during the cold and
warm months, respectively, the buildings' energy consumption has dramatically shot up. So …

The residential sector is the third-largest energy consumer and emitter globally and as such
is at the forefront of the energy transition and net-zero emissions pathway. To accelerate the …

Supercooling is a natural phenomenon that keeps a phase change material (PCM) in its
liquid state at a temperature lower than its solidification temperature. In the field of thermal …

In recent years, energy conservation and environmental protection have become most
important issues for humanity. Phase change materials (PCMs) for thermal energy storage …

Phase change materials (PCMs) are widely used from a heat storage perspective because
of high-energy storage density at a nearly constant temperature. The main disadvantage of …

Hydrated salt phase change materials (PCMs) can play an important role in the temperature
regulation of buildings by storing and releasing latent heat. However, hydrated salt PCMs …
