Nanoencapsulated phase-change materials (nePCMs) are investigated for enhancing thermal energy storage. However, the shell of these nanocapsules may fail due to stress developed during thermal processes, leading to melting enthalpy loss. To overcome this problem, SiO2

Nanoencapsulated phase change materials (nePCMs) are nowadays under research for thermal energy storage purposes. NePCMs are composed of a phase change core surrounded by a shell that confines the core when molten. One of the main concerns of nePCMs when subjected to thermal p ...
