A comprehensive review on the recent advances in materials for thermal energy storage applications

Sustainable synthesis: natural processes shaping the nanocircular economy

“…This allows for the utilization of waste heat from industrial processes, transforming it into useful electrical power. 137,138 Environmental Science: Nano Perspective…”

“…This allows for the utilization of waste heat from industrial processes, transforming it into useful electrical power. 137,138 In addition, the use of smart materials and advanced technologies can enhance such resource recovery efforts. By incorporating sensors and responsive materials into waste management systems, it is possible to monitor and optimize resource recovery processes, which helps in identifying valuable materials, improving sorting and separation techniques, and maximizing the efficiency of resource utilization.…”

High-temperature ternary Cu–Si–Al alloy as a core–shell microencapsulated phase change material: fabrication via dry synthesis method and its thermal stability mechanism

“…7 Presently, sensible heat storage (SHS) materials, one of the TES materials, are utilized due to their low cost. 8,9 However, SHS materials have a low energy storage density of 25 kW m À3 , 3 leading to problems such as the need for large-scale storage facilities and corresponding limitations in their application.…”

Experimental investigation of the effect of stratifiers to enhance the performance of the thermal energy storage system

“…These investigations demonstrate that the intake stratifiers will improve the charging performance of the latent heat storage system. In order to establish steady-state conditions, it degrades the TES system [18]. To address this problem, our proposed work improved the steady-state flow rate across the PCM capsules and created a novel idea using swirl flow injection.…”
