Sorption and thermochemical heat storage attracted considerable attention recently because it offers various opportunities in the design of renewable and sustainable energy systems. Heat and mass transfer remains currently the main limitations whose overcoming would facilitate their introduction...

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...
