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 …

Phase change materials are attractive as well as being selected as one of the incredibly
fascinating materials relating to the high-energy storage system. Phase change materials …

Integration of the phase change materials (PCM) into the external building walls is an
efficient method for reduction of energy consumption and regulation of energy demands due …

Phase change materials (PCMs) with significant latent heat of phase transition have been
exploited for a wide range of thermal storage applications. This is particularly useful in the …

Nowadays the building sector is considered to be the largest consumer of energy. Thus, new
