Nano-enhanced phase change materials for improved building performance (2016, methodology): “number of heat transfer enhancement techniques have been proposed such as the use of fins and heat pipes [10, 20], insertion and dispersion of high thermal conductive materials [17], micro- and macro-encapsulation [10, 21], the application of multiple PCMs [22], etc.”
A Comprehensive Review of Thermal Energy Storage (2018, neutral): “…overcome the intermittency of solar energy. with conventional fuels and can utilize a later time or to smooth out plant output during cloudy TES systems can collect energy during sunshine hours and store it in order to shift its delivery to a later time or to smooth out plant output during cloudy…”
Types, methods, techniques, and applications for microencapsulated phase change materials (MPCM): A review (2016, background): “15 cold storage [124], and heat exchangers [118] applications.”
New approach for sol–gel synthesis of microencapsulated n-octadecane phase change material with silica wall using sodium silicate precursor (2014, background): “Many attempts have been made to overcome these problems such as the formation of PCM emulsions or PCM slurries [7,14], and microencapsulation of PCMs is considered as a successful solution to hold the liquid and/or solid phases of PCMswithinmicrocapsule containers.”
