The need for a more sustainable and accessible source of energy is increasing as human society advances. The use of different metallic materials and their challenges in current and future energy sectors are the primary focus of the first part of this review. Cryogenic treatment (CT), one of the possible solutions for an environmentally friendly, sustainable, and cost-effective technology for tailoring the properties of these materials, is the focus of second part of the review. CT was found to have great potential for the improvement of the properties of metallic materials and the extension of their service life. The focus of the review is on selected surface properties and corrosion resistance, which are under-researched and have great potential for future research and application of CT in the energy sector. Most research reports that CT improves corrosion resistance by up to 90%. This is based on the unique oxide formation that can provide corrosion protection and extend the life of metallic materials by up to three times. However, more research should be conducted on the surface resistance and corrosion resistance of metallic materials in future studies to provide standards for the application of CT in the energy sector.

Photovoltaic (PV) cells convert solar energy into electricity is currently the cleanest and most economical way to generate electricity. Nevertheless, just a portion of the solar power can be transformed into electrical energy, while the remaining portion is converted into heat, leading to an increase in the temperature of the PV cells. The rise in temperature will not only cause a decrease in the electrical efficiency of PV cells, but it may also impact their lifespan. By placing phase change materials (PCMs) on the back of the PV cells, it is possible to decrease the temperature increase and enhance the electrical efficiency. The heat collected by PCMs can also be taken away using liquid cooling and put to use. In this paper, the classification, performance evaluation and composite modification technology of PCMs are introduced in detail. The practical application requirements of PCMs in thermal management of PV cells are discussed, and some new ideas of applying PCMs to PV cells are prospected. Moreover, the prior investigations regarding the incorporation of PCMs with PV systems and PV/T systems have also been compiled, encompassing the various research perspectives and methodologies employed. In addition, the possible development direction in the future is prospected.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

“…Utilizing nanoparticles in conjunction with PCMs or transferring of heat fluid is a viable approach to augment the inadequate thermal conductivity of PCMs. In this regard, the dispersion of nanoparticles in a double-pipe heating exchanger was examined by Ali [26] to enhance the low thermal conductivity exhibited by the paraffin wax employed as a thermal storage medium. Rashid et al, [27] and Harikrishnan and Kalaiselvam [28] studied the methods of storing Renewable energy from sun.…”

This paper presents an empirical investigation of the melting processes of phase change material (PCM) in a tube and shell heating exchanger utilizing solar thermal energy. The experiments were conducted outdoors in Al-Mussaib city, Babylon, Iraq (Lat 32.5° North, long 44.3° East), utilizing a north-south (N-S) collector oriented at a tilt angle of 32.5° from the horizontal. This work utilized pure Iraqi black paraffin with 12 kg as PCM. The main empirical rig involves a vacuum tube solar collector (VTSC) utilizing a tube and shell heating exchanger to melt PCM in the shell regime. Different rates of water flow inside the internal heating exchanger's tube, namely (3.5, 5, and 8.5 L/m), were utilized for each season from August 2022 to January 2023. The empirical findings concluded that the internal tube inlet and surrounding temps significantly influence the melting process compared to the rates of water flow. It was found that the melting process of PCM needs about (3 to 4) hours in the summer season. Still, winter needs a longer time, about 14 to 16 hours. Increasing surrounding temp and solar radiation reduces the melting time of phase-change material. The findings of the present work were compared with the earlier investigations and agree with increasing the present work by 23.5 %. The findings from the present study are of practical importance for industries requiring storage materials to improve thermal storage system performance.
