Field trials are expected to begin shortly for a high-temperature thermal-storage demonstrator built by AED Energy. The field ...

This structure was designed to act as a host for stearic acid, a common organic phase change material known for its high heat storage capacity but persistent leakage issues. The chitin-derived carbon ...

A team of materials scientists has developed a new bio based carbon material that can store thermal energy more efficiently ...

Phase change materials (PCMs) represent a pivotal class of substances that store and release thermal energy through reversible transitions between solid and liquid states. Their ability to absorb or ...

Serbia-based Storenergy has developed a thermal energy storage (TES) solution that uses recycled ceramics as the storage medium. It says its solid-state storage solution is designed to ensure long ...

Advanced thermal energy storage is playing an increasingly important role in improving the performance and reliability of solar energy systems. In this ...

A new heat-to-energy converter has reached a record efficiency of 44% – the average steam turbine manages about 35%, for comparison. This thermophotovoltaic cell is a major step on the way to ...

Scientists have created a new material derived from seaweed that can store heat for re-use. It could be used to capture summer sun for use in winter, or to store heat from industry that currently goes ...

The Kraftblock team at the site of one of their firm's thermal batteries, installed at a ceramics plant. The battery is the white container connected to the building via the chrome pipes. About half ...
