Phase change materials (PCMs) have received substantial interest for their ability to store
and release latent heat for energy conservation and thermal control purposes. PCMs are …

Phase change materials (PCMs) are capable of storing energy as latent energy by changing
the phase and provide the stored energy when they are returned to their initial phase at a …

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) aerogel is usually used to restrict the flow of liquid polyethylene
glycol (PEG) for the preparation of composite phase change materials (PCM). Currently, the …

Heat is the most common form of energy either in final or intermediate forms, with the latter
enabling energy conversion to other useful forms. Heat is primarily sourced from fossil fuels …

Latent heat thermal storage (LHTS) system is a crucial technology for achieving carbon
