• Maximization of performance of a PCM latent heat storage system with innovative fins (2015, background): “Compared to the use of highly conductive matrices [8–10], or particle dispersion technique [11–13], extended surfaces have the benefits of ease of installation and require less maintenance during operation.”
• Nano-enhanced phase change materials for improved building performance (2016, background): “[83] analyzed the melting of a single vertical shell-andtube thermal energy storage charged with paraffin and copper nanoparticles.”
