Thermal energy storage cement mortar containing n-octadecane/expanded graphite composite phase change material Renew. Energy, 50 ( 2013 ), pp. 670 - 675, 10.1016/j.renene.2012.08.024
Research on phase change material (PCM) for thermal energy storage is playing a significant role in energy management industry. However, some hurdles during the storage of energy have been perceived such as less thermal conductivity, leakage of PCM during phase transition, flammability, and insufficient mechanical properties. For …
Since cement paste is the matrix component of concrete, research progress on such a material is of relevance for near future development within sensible thermal energy storage applications. Considering the material application in CSP plants, operating conditions were studied before and after 10 thermal cycles from 290 to 650 °C.
