Performances of spherical macrocapsules (nodules) currently used in latent heat-based thermal energy storage (TES) industrial units have been enhanced by the addition of graphite particles to the phase change material (PCM). Two different graphite types, namely graphite flakes (GF) and expanded...

Structural–functional integrated materials are one of directions of rapid development for saving-energy materials. Phase Change Materials (PCMs) are latent thermal storage materials possessing a large amount of heat energy stored during its phase change stage. Porous lightweight aggregate...
