The research group on Compact Thermal Energy Storage Materials of the IEA Solar Heating and Cooling Programme has taken a big step forward in developing and validating standardized thermal energy […]Read More
Stability is a key issue when evaluating new phase-change materials (PCMs) or thermochemical materials (TCMs) for thermal energy storage. A loss of stability may reduce the storage capacity and/or the […]Read More
Thermochemical storage materials (TCMs) offer much higher storage capacities by mass or volume than sensible or latent heat storage and can store heat for an infinite amount of time almost […]Read More
Thermochemical materials (TCMs) used in storage tanks show higher heat capacities than water and smaller losses over time. They are crucial to an increase in solar use among consumers and […]Read More
