Properties of Cementitious Mortar and Concrete Containing Micro-Encapsulated Phase Change Materials
More efficient energy usage in buildings with increased thermal mass and better thermal insulation has attracted considerable attention in recent years. As one the most widely used construction...
Comparison of Phase Change Materials of Modified Soy Wax using Graphene and MAXene for Thermal Energy Storage Materials in Buildings
This study aimed to characterize Phase Change Materials (PCM) by improving their properties using shape stabilization; this was achieved by adding nanoparticles as a support material. PCM soy wax was...
Water-resistant gum-based phase change composite for thermo-regulating insulation packaging
The world's current energy crisis calls for green energy solutions that can preserve energy while incorporating renewable. As such, we have developed a leakage-proof phase change material (PCM)...
Fabrication of Zinc-Loaded Hollow Glass Microspheres (HGMs) for hydrogen storage
Abstract: The greatest challenge for a feasible hydrogen economy lies on the production of pure hydrogen and the materials for its storage with controlled release at ambient conditions. Hydrogen with...
Experimental investigation of the effect of thermal cycling on the thermomechanical properties of three rock varieties for high temperature thermal energy storage
Abstract: During the past years "rock batteries" have become increasingly relevant for the storage of renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar energy, because of their economic and ecological...
Enhanced solar/electric-to-thermal energy conversion capability of double skeleton based shape-stabilized phase change materials
Abstract: In this work, we developed a type of shape-stabilized phase change materials (SSPCMs) based on carbonized melamine foam/graphene aerogel (CMGA) as a supporting material and polyethylene...
Shape-stabilized phase change material for thermal energy storage: Sr+2 doped BaCO3 matrix incorporating polyethylene glycol
Abstract: An Sr2+-doped BaCO3 matrix incorporating polyethylene glycol (PEG-6000) was developed using a simple impregnation process to build a shape-stabilized functional phase transition composite...
