Abstract
In order to address the requirements for warmth and energy conservation in cold climates, the development of personal thermal management textiles that regulate local human thermal comfort has emerged as a promising solution in recent times. Nevertheless, existing warming textile strategies often rely on a singular energy source, exhibit inadequate air/moisture permeability, and lack adaptability to dynamic and intricate climate variations. Herein, a novel multienergy-coupled radiative warming Janus textile has been effectively designed and fabricated via screen printing and foam finishing. Taking advantage of the synergistic effects of directional water transport capability of polyester-covered cotton (with a directional water-transport index of R = 577.5%), high mid-infrared radiant reflection (at 60%), electrothermal conversion of copper coating (with a sheet resistance of 0.01 Ω sq-1), and strong solar absorption of the nanoporous structure TA@APTES@Fe(III)@CNT (TAFC) coating (at 98.5%), the Janus fabric exhibits exceptional performance in expelling out one-way sweat/moisture (R = 329.3%) and solar heating (86.9 °C)/Joule heating (226.4 °C at 3.0 V)/heat retention (2.4 °C higher than that of cotton fabric). Furthermore, the fabric is also provided with exceptional mechanical, washing, flame-retardant, and antibacterial performance. This research holds the potential to revolutionize the development and production of warming textiles by incorporating desirable sweat/moisture permeability and multienergy-coupled heating.

Abstract
Abstract
In recent years, energy has become an important factor in overall development. Most of the energy comes from fossil fuels which are nonrenewable and harmful to our environment. It has become important to develop new application technologies that utilize thermal energy storage (TES) technology. Energy storage technology based on PCMs is a cutting-edge research area with a wide range of potential applications. But the biggest problem of phase change material is its leakage problem, for that the researchers have set up a solution i.e., the microencapsulation techniques. This paper gives an overview of the synthesis of (MPCM) microencapsulated phase change material by using different methodologies and their applications in industrial coatings. Corrosion is the biggest problem in industrial coatings which reduces the working time span and overall performance of the coatings. The incorporation of the micro-PCMs in industrial coatings increases workability as well as the overall performance of the coatings. This review covers the use of MPCM in various industrial coating applications, challenges, and their future directions are also discussed.

NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 12:nano12193270.

Abstract
In a magnetic field, two-dimensional (2D) mixed convection is investigated within a zigzagged trapezoidal chamber. The lower side of the trapezoidal chamber is irregular, in particular, a zigzagged wall with different zigzag numbers N. The fluid particles move in the room due to the motion of the upper wall, while the porosity-enthalpy approach represents the melting process. The thermal parameters of the fluid are enhanced by what is called a nano-encapsulated phase change material (NEPCM) consisting of polyurethane as the shell and a nonadecane as the core, while water is used as the base fluid. In order to treat the governing equations, the well-known Galerkin finite element method (GFEM) is applied. In addition, the heat transfer (HT) irreversibility and the fluid friction (FF) irreversibility are compared in terms of the average Bejan number. The main results show that the melt band curve behaves parabolically at smaller values of Reynolds number (Re) and larger values of Hartmann number (Ha). Moreover, minimizing the wave number is better in order to obtain a higher heat transfer rate.

Abstract
Recently, phase change materials (PCMs) have gained great attention from engineers and researchers due to their exceptional properties for thermal energy storing, which would effectively aid in reducing carbon footprint and support the global transition of using renewable energy. The current research attempts to enhance the thermal performance of a shell-and-tube heat exchanger by means of using PCM and a modified tube design. The enthalpy-porosity method is employed for modelling the phase change. Paraffin wax is treated as PCM and poured within the annulus; the annulus comprises a circular shell and a fined wavy (trefoil-shaped) tube. In addition, copper nanoparticles are incorporated with the base PCM to enhance the thermal conductivity and melting rate. Effects of many factors, including nanoparticle concentration, the orientation of the interior wavy tube, and the fin length, were examined. Results obtained from the current model imply that Cu nanoparticles added to PCM materials improve thermal and melting properties while reducing entropy formation. The highest results (27% decrease in melting time) are obtained when a concentration of nanoparticles of 8% is used. Additionally, the fins' location is critical because fins with 45° inclination could achieve a 50% expedition in the melting process.

Abstract
Energy saving has always been a topic of great interest. The usage of nano-enhanced phase change material NePCM is one of the energy-saving methods that has gained increasing interest. In the current report, we intend to simulate the natural convection flow of NePCM inside an inverse T-shaped enclosure. The complex nature of the flow results from the following factors: the enclosure contains a hot trapezoidal fin on the bottom wall, the enclosure is saturated with pours media, and it is exposed to a magnetic field. The governing equations of the studied system are numerically addressed by the higher order Galerkin finite element method (GFEM). The impacts of the Darcy number (Da = 10-2-10-5), Rayleigh number (Ra = 103-106), nanoparticle volume fraction (φ = 0-0.08), and Hartmann number (Ha = 0-100) are analyzed. The results indicate that both local and average Nusselt numbers were considerably affected by Ra and Da values, while the influence of other parameters was negligible. Increasing Ra (increasing buoyancy force) from 103 to 106 enhanced the maximum average Nusselt number by 740%, while increasing Da (increasing the permeability) from 10-5 to 10-2 enhanced both the maximum average Nusselt number and the maximum local Nusselt number by the same rate (360%).

Abstract
Triallyl isocyanurate (TAIC) was modified by hydrogen silicone oil (SO) via hydrosilylation reaction, generating the original TAIC-SO (TS) intermediate. After the cross-linking polymerization of TS (PTS), the shape-stabilized phase change materials (PCMs) consisting of n-octadecane and silicone-modified supporting matrix were first synthesized by an in situ reaction. Remarkably, the novel three-dimensional PTS network effectively prevents the leakage of n-octadecane during its phase transition, solving the prominent problem of solid-liquid PCMs in practical applications. Moreover, n-octadecane is uniformly dispersed in the continuous and high-strength cross-linked network, contributing to excellent thermal reliability and structural stability of PTS/n-octadecane (TSO) composites. Differential scanning calorimetry analysis of the optimal TSO composite indicates that melting and freezing temperatures are 29.05 and 22.89 °C, and latent heats of melting and freezing are 130.35 and 129.81 J/g, respectively. After comprehensive characterizations, the shape-stabilized TSO composites turn out to be promising in thermal energy storage applications. Meanwhile, the strategy is practical and economical due to its advantages of easy operation, mild conditions, short reaction time, and low energy consumption.

Abstract
The energy storage application plays a vital role in the utilization of the solar energy technologies. There are various types of the energy storage applications are available in the todays world. Phase change materials (PCMs) are suitable for various solar energy systems for prolonged heat energy retaining, as solar radiation is sporadic. This literature review presents the application of the PCM in solar thermal power plants, solar desalination, solar cooker, solar air heater, and solar water heater. Even though the availability and cost of PCMs are complex and high, the PCMs are used in most solar energy methods due to their significant technical parameters improvisation. This review's detailed findings paved the way for future recommendations and methods for the investigators to carry work for further system developments.

Abstract
This work focuses on an interdisciplinary issue in energy management and biosensing techniques. Aiming at enhancing the biosensing detection of dopamine at high ambient temperatures, we developed an innovative integration of phase-change microcapsules with a metal-organic framework (MOF) based on zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 to develop an intelligent electrochemical biosensing system with a thermal self-regulation function. We first fabricated a type of electroactive microcapsules containing a MOF-anchored polypyrrole/SiO2 double-layered shell and a phase-change material (PCM) core. The resultant microcapsules not only exhibit a regular spherical morphology with a layer-by-layer core-shell microstructure but also display an effective temperature-regulation capability to enhance enzymatic bioactivity under phase-change enthalpies of around 124.0 J·g-1 along with good thermal impact resistance and excellent thermal cycling stability for long-term use in thermal energy management. These electroactive microcapsules were then used to modify a working electrode together with laccase as a biocatalyst to construct a thermal self-regulatory biosensor. With a high sensitivity of 3.541 μA·L·μmol-1·cm-2 and a low detection limit of 0.0069 μmol·L-1 at 50 °C, this biosensor exhibits much better determination effectiveness toward dopamine at higher temperatures than conventional biosensors thanks to in situ thermal management derived from its PCM core in the electroactive microcapsules. This study offers a promising approach for development of intelligent thermal self-regulatory biosensors with an enhanced detection capability to identify various chemicals accurately in a wide range of applicable temperatures.

Abstract
Phase change materials (PCMs) in the form of fibers or fibrous mats with exceptional thermal energy storage ability and tunable working temperature are of high interest to produce smart thermoregulating textiles, useful for increasing human thermal comfort while avoiding energy waste. Common organic PCMs suffer from instability in their molten state, which limits their applicability as highly performing fibrous systems. In this work, electrospun fibrous mats made of polyethylene oxide (PEO), a PCM with excellent thermal properties and biocompatibility, were fabricated and their shape instability in the molten state was improved through UV photo-crosslinking. The characterization aimed to assess the performance of these shape-stable electrospun mats as nanofibrous PCMs for thermal management applications. In addition to an enhanced resistance to water-based solvents, UV-cured electrospun PEO mats demonstrated a remarkable latent heat (≈112 J/g), maintained over 80 heating/cooling cycles across the phase change temperature. Moreover, their morphological stability above their melting point was demonstrated both macroscopically and microscopically, with the retention of the initial nanofibrous morphology. Tensile mechanical tests demonstrated that the UV crosslinking considerably enhanced the ultimate properties of the fibrous mat, with a five-fold increase in both the tensile strength (from 0.15 MPa to 0.74 MPa) and the strain at break (from 2.5% to 12.2%) compared to the uncrosslinked mat. In conclusion, the photo-crosslinked electrospun PEO material exhibited high thermal properties and good shape stability without displaying leakage; accordingly, in the proposed PCM system, the necessity for encapsulation or use of a supporting layer has been eliminated. Photo-crosslinking thus proved itself as an effective, fast, and environmentally friendly method to dramatically improve the shape-stability of nanofibrous PEO electrospun mats for smart thermoregulating textiles.

Experimental Studies of the Influence of Microencapsulated Phase Change Material on Thermal Parameters of a Flat Liquid Solar Collector. ENERGIES 2021.

Abstract
The article presents the results of preliminary research aimed at determining the possibility of using microencapsulated phase change material (mPCM) slurries as a working fluid in installations with a flat liquid solar collector. In the tests, the following were used as the working fluid: water (reference liquid) and 10% wt. and 20% wt. of an aqueous solution of the product under the trade name MICRONAL® 5428 X. As the product contained 43% mPCM, the mass fraction of mPCM in the working liquid was 4.3% and 8.6%, respectively. The research was carried out in laboratory conditions in the range of irradiance I = 250–950 W/m2. Each of the three working fluids flowed through the collector in the amount of 20 kg/h, 40 kg/h, and 80 kg/h. The working fluid was supplied to the collector with a constant temperature Tin = 20 ± 0.5 °C. It was found that the temperature of the working fluid at the collector outlet increases with the increase in the radiation intensity, but the temperature achieved depended on the type of working fluid. The greater the share of mPCM in the working liquid, the lower the temperature of the liquid leaving the solar collector. It was found that the type of working fluid does not influence the achieved thermal power of the collector. The negative influence of mPCM on the operation of the solar collector was not noticed; the positive aspect of using mPCM in the solar installation should be emphasized—the reduced temperature of the medium allows the reduction in heat losses to the environment from the installation, especially in a low-temperature environment.

Abstract
The latent heat storage in the layer of phase change material (PCM) exposed to dynamic changes in boundary temperature was investigated numerically and experimentally. The original numerical model of heat transfer with phase change using a mushy volume approach was proposed and validated. The main improvement in the proposed model in comparison to others is that the compaction of the mesh and longitude of the time step were chosen after analysis of its impact in the field of error. The model was tested in the case of thin layer structure of the triple glazing window with one cavity filled with phase change material paraffin RT18HC. The experimental validation was carried out in the climatic chamber under dynamic changes in external temperature (from 10 to 50 °C) in a daily cycle. The highest accuracy was obtained for space discretization of the control volume 1 mm thick (12 CV for 12 mm of PCM layer) and 5 min time step. The obtained RMSE values, although they cannot be directly compared because of the very different approaches to the simulations, show that the proposed algorithm is sufficiently accurate for the assessment of energy storage in the PCM window. Both the simulation and experiment proved that, under specific conditions, implementation of the PCM into the structure resulted in delaying the peak for around 4 h.
