Photovoltaic thermal (PV/T) systems combine a hybrid photovoltaic (PV) module and a flat‐
plate solar thermal collector. The hybrid design allows for simultaneou increase in thermal …

Biobased phase change materials (BPCMs) have attracted much attention as they offer
proper melting temperature, high heat capacity, non-corrosive, low cost, and are abundantly …

This study focused on an important global issue containing both environmental pollution
control and energy storage. Polyaniline has been utilized as a supporting material to load …

The present research aims to achieve a shape-stable, and leakage-proof material for
thermal energy storage (TES). The leakage analysis of 20 wt.% SiO2@ Cu PCM shows …

The aim of the present paper was to investigate the effect of alpha-lithium aluminate (α-
LiAlO2) incorporation (1, 3, and 5 wt%) on the properties (grain morphology, activation …

Most numerical simulations for solid–liquid phase change problems are based on the
melting point of phase change materials (PCMs) as the initial condition, while research with …

Phase change materials (PCM) can absorb or release a huge amount of latent heat in
accordance with the increase or decrease of the surrounding temperature. Among all the …

It is common knowledge that phase-change materials are used for the purpose of thermal
storage because of the characteristics that are exclusive to these materials and not found in …

The present research proposes a synthesis of shape-stable phase change materials
composed of paraffin encapsulated in SiO2 NPs, and SiO2-modified expanded graphite …

Present work is an effort to synthesize a shape-stable, leakage-proof, and thermally shape
stable Paraffin PCM for TES. In this regard, the effect of 10 wt%, 15 wt%, and 20 wt% of …
