Synthesis and characterization of a novel high durability alloy microcapsule for thermal energy storage

TL;DR: In this paper, a novel alloy microcapsule with a void was prepared successfully with SnBi58 alloy as the core and TiO2 as the shell by double-layer coating, sacrificial inner layer method, which can accommodate volume expansion during heat storage, thus fundamentally solving the problem of micro-capsule break caused by thermal expansion.

Nano-enhanced PCMs for low-temperature thermal energy storage systems and passive conditioning applications

TL;DR: In this paper, nano-enhanced phase change material (PCM)-based thermal energy storage (TES) systems are preferred due to high energy density; however, they possess an inherent problem of low dispatchability.

Thermal energy storage using sodium sulfate decahydrate and water

Dipak R. Biswas
- 01 Jan 1977 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the major problem preventing use of sodium sulfate decahydrate for thermal energy storage can be avoided by using the composition which is at or slightly to the water-rich side of the invariant point in the phase diagram.

Thermal energy storage for solar heating and off-peak air conditioning

TL;DR: Parametric designs for two latent heat materials (sodium thiosulfate pentahydrate and a paraffin wax) and for a sensible heat material (a 1:1 mixture of water and ethylene glycol) were compared as to cost, performance, and space requirements.

An investigation of the thermal energy storage capacity of Glauber's salt with respect to thermal cycling

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the thermal energy storage capacity of the unthickened mixture to the thickened mixture as a function of thermal cycling and showed a significant improvement in performance of the thinnened mixture over that of the Glauber's salt and borax mixture.
