Evaluation of discharging performance of molten salt/ceramic foam composite phase change material in a shell-and-tube latent heat thermal energy storage unit (2022)
Journal Article

Molten salts are widely used energy storage media in integrated solar power systems, however, due to their high corrosivity and the extreme high-temperature environment, many current methods of heat transfer enhancement do not apply. Herein, we propo... Read More about Evaluation of discharging performance of molten salt/ceramic foam composite phase change material in a shell-and-tube latent heat thermal energy storage unit.

Heat transfer characteristics of ceramic foam/molten salt composite phase change material (CPCM) for medium-temperature thermal energy storage (2022)
Journal Article

Molten salts have been widely used as energy storage materials in medium- and high-temperature thermal energy storage. However, pure salt commonly suffers from low thermal conductivity and many conventional methods of heat transfer enhancement do not...

Component-dependent thermal properties of molten salt eutectics for solar thermal energy storage: Experiments, molecular simulation and applications (2022)
Journal Article

Molten salts have been used in solar thermal energy storage due to their high energy storage density, low cost and excellent chemical stability. However, their application is limited by “bad days” such as cloudy days and winter because the weak conce...
