Indian scientists tested four kinds of phase change materials (PCMs) for solar module cooling in building-integrated photovoltaics. The PCMs were encapsulated with the PV system and the building ...

Researchers from the University of Baghdad and the University of Garmian, in Iraq, and Brunel University London, in the United Kingdom, have proposed to use multiple phase-change materials (PCMs) for ...

PCMs are materials that absorb and release thermal energy through changes in their physical state. They can be categorized as liquid-gas, solid-solid, solid-gas, and solid-liquid, depending on their ...

As a result of the bionic design of the neural network-like aerogel-based composite PCMs, both microwave absorption and thermal management are increased, and in colder climates the solar-thermal ...

A new study published in Scientific Reports explores the use of bio-organic phase change materials (PCMs) to improve the thermal comfort of cotton fabrics. Researchers developed PCM composites using ...
