The effect of nucleating agent on the multiphase change materials for energy storage in buildings (2023)
Journal Article
Sinaga, R., Darkwa, J., Worall, M., & Su, W. (2024). The effect of nucleating agent on the multiphase change materials for energy storage in buildings. Applied Thermal Engineering, 239, Article 122153. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.applthermaleng.2023.122153

Phase change materials (PCMs) have the potential to be used for widespread energy storage applications in buildings. However, available PCMs can only function at fixed phase transitional temperatures, restricting their seasonal applicability. To this...

Synthesis and Characterization of Doped Magnesium Hydroxide for Medium Heat Storage Application (2023)
Journal Article
Albeladi, N., Kur, A., Mokaya, R., Darkwa, J., Roger-Lund, S., Worall, M., …Boukhanouf, R. (2023). Synthesis and Characterization of Doped Magnesium Hydroxide for Medium Heat Storage Application. Materials, 16(18), Article 6296. https://doi.org/10.3390/ma16186296

The amount of waste heat generated annually in the UK exceeds the total annual electricity demand. Hence, it is crucial to effectively harness all available sources of waste heat based on their varying temperatures. Through suitable technologies, a s...
