Phase change materials in solar energy storage: Recent progress

Solar energy systems are well-researched to improve performance and efficiency and reduce per-unit energy costs [[5], [6], [7]]. The fluctuation in the solar energy supply due to climatic

Interfacial Solar Vapor Generation: Materials and Structural Design

The global water scarcity and deteriorating environment call for the development of environmentally friendly water treatment technologies. Solar-driven evaporation, well-known as a critical step of water

High-Temperature Phase Change Materials (PCM) Candidates

The high-temperature container materials that are able to resist the aggressive chemical behavior of the molten salts used in NGNP are basically high-temperature alloys (some stainless steels, Inconel, and

Emerging trends in sustainable building materials: Technological

The recent focus has evolved to prioritize the environmental impact of building materials, reflecting an increasing recognition of the need for materials that uphold the structural,

Thermal and mechanical degradation assessment in refractory concrete

Conclusions A pilot plant characterization study was carried out using a concrete storage tank to be proposed as container material in CSP plants. After a thermal test using solar salt

Compatibility of container materials for Concentrated Solar Power with

As it can be seen in Table 1, most of the works reported in literature are focused on the compatibility of different purity grade (analytical, refined or industrial) solar salt with common
