To explore the application of phase change energy storage materials in building energy conservation, in this study, an innovative composite thermal energy storage cement mortar (CTESCM) was developed using lauric acid–palmitic acid/expanded graphite (LA-PA/EG) as the composite phase change material (CPCM).
Electrochemical energy storage (EES) systems with high efficiency, low cost, application flexibility, safety, and accessibility are the focus of intensive research and development efforts. Materials play a key role in the efficient, clean, and versatile use of energy, and are crucial for the exploitation of renewable energy.
Preceding the main text, a helpful introduction covers topics including the overall energy consumption structure of the modern world, various existing forms of energy and electrochemical energy storage, known problems with energy storage materials such as lithium-ion batteries, and specifics of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS).
Latent thermal energy storage technology is realized through the ability of phase change material (PCM) to store and release thermal energy to the environment, and it can control the internal temperature, thereby improving the energy efficiency of buildings 6, 7, 8.
