TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the work done at Fraunhofer ISE within a German government-funded project over the last 5 years, extending from building simulations to first measurements of full-size rooms equipped with PCM.
541 citations
TL;DR: In this article, the cycling and chemical stability of Dmannitol up to 20 cycles can be achieved by controlling some parameters, the variable affecting it the most is the amount of oxygen in contact with it.
176 citations
TL;DR: In this article, phase-change slurries (PCSs) are used to increase the efficiency of phase transition materials, e.g., Paraffin and water, by using phase change materials and carrier fluids.
120 citations
TL;DR: In this article, a broad overview on current developments on materials including the new class of metal-organic frameworks for the use in adsorption processes for heat storage and transformation is given. But, most of the available adsorbents like zeolites were not optimized for use in these processes as they originally had been developed for gas separation or catalysis processes.

TL;DR: The use of a latent heat storage system using phase change materials (PCMs) is an effective way of storing thermal energy and has the advantages of high energy storage density and the isothermal nature of the storage process.
Abstract: The use of a latent heat storage system using phase change materials (PCMs) is an effective way of storing thermal energy and has the advantages of high-energy storage density and the isothermal nature of the storage process. PCMs have been widely used in latent heat thermal-storage systems for heat pumps, solar engineering, and spacecraft thermal control applications. The uses of PCMs for heating and cooling applications for buildings have been investigated within the past decade. There are large numbers of PCMs that melt and solidify at a wide range of temperatures, making them attractive in a number of applications. This paper also summarizes the investigation and analysis of the available thermal energy storage systems incorporating PCMs for use in different applications.

TL;DR: In this article, the state of the art of phase change materials for thermal energy storage applications is reviewed and an insight into recent efforts to develop new phase change material with enhanced performance and safety.
1,399 citations
TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive review of the integration of phase change materials in building walls is presented. But, even if the integrated phase change material have a good potential for reducing energy demand, further investigations are needed to really assess their use.
Abstract: The present paper is the first comprehensive review of the integration of phase change materials in building walls. Many considerations are discussed in this paper including physical considerations about building envelope and phase change material, phase change material integration and thermophysical property measurements and various experimental and numerical studies concerning the integration. Even if the integrated phase change material have a good potential for reducing energy demand, further investigations are needed to really assess their use.
