Micro/nano-encapsulated n-heptadecane with polystyrene shell for latent heat thermal energy storage (2014, background): “However, they have some drawbacks such as low thermal conductivity, flammability and high volume change during phase change [8–10].”
Thermal energy storage: “How previous findings determine current research priorities” (2012, background): “A significant advantage of copper foams over graphite in terms of improving heat transfer rates was identified [76].”
Thermal property measurement and heat storage analysis of LiNO3/KCl – expanded graphite composite phase change material (2014, methodology): “For LTES systems, the density of PCMs cannot be too low considering of the heat storage capacity for a given volume and the investment cost of the whole system [18].”
