About this position

Energy poverty remains a major challenge in rural regions of developing countries, where access to reliable grid electricity, heating and domestic hot water is limited. Thermal energy storage (TES) offers a promising approach for capturing waste heat and surplus thermal energy from off-grid solar, biomass sources, and processes. Phase change materials (PCMs) are central to this strategy due to their high energy density and isothermal transition. However, PCMs suffer from low thermal conductivity and phase separation during cycling, which limits their practical deployment. Recent developments i
