1. Introduction. Latent heat storage has allured great attention because it provides the potential to achieve energy savings and effective utilization [[1], [2], [3]].The latent heat storage is also known as phase change heat storage, which is accomplished by absorbing and releasing thermal energy during phase transition.

Electrical energy storage (EES) is critical for efficiently utilizing electricity produced from intermittent, renewable sources such as solar and wind, as well as for

Innovative solutions to tackle the energy crisis. NUS research into renewable sources of energy, better energy storage, more efficient energy use could help combat the current energy crisis. One of the world''s

The world is rapidly adopting renewable energy alternatives at a remarkable rate to address the ever-increasing environmental crisis of CO 2 emissions.

When applied to a circular economy scenario, the waste management of spent LIBs shows excellent potential to reduce the use of energy in the production of new devices. The application of the spent LIBs in stationary energy storage systems can increase even more this effect [104]. However, the recycling and reuse of materials from

Global warming, environmental pollution, and an energy shortage in the current fossil fuel society may cause a severe ecological crisis. Storage and conversion of renewable, dispersive and non-perennial energy from the sun, wind, geothermal sources, water, or biomass could be a promising option to relieve th

As the war in Ukraine continues to rage, skyrocketing energy prices are compounding an existential cost-of-living crisis for hundreds of millions of people, warned the UN Secretary-General''s Global Crisis Response Group (GCRG) on Food, Energy and Finance. Despite this alarming situation, major oil and gas companies recently reported

Gas, coal and electricity prices have in recent weeks risen to their highest levels in decades. These increases have been caused by a combination of factors, but it is inaccurate and misleading to lay the responsibility at the door of the clean energy transition. In this commentary, we provide an overview of the main drivers behind the current

The Journal of Energy Storage focusses on all aspects of energy storage, in particular systems integration, electric grid integration, modelling and analysis, novel energy storage technologies, sizing and management strategies, business models for operation of storage systems and energy storage .

1. Introduction. Energy storage is the key technology that can be employed to solve the crisis. The storage of energy from renewable sources such as solar and wind, especially those generated during off-peak hours, is critical to the wide spread use of renewable energy technologies [1, 2].Thermal energy storage (TES) technology is a

The global energy crisis is a result of a cascade of issues faced by different countries over the years. The chain of events begins with the pandemic, along with a fall in wholesale energy prices. As Covid-19 impacted the world, gas, and electricity use reduced sharply across countries, in contrast to overproduction from oil and gas companies.

The world faces two energy problems: most of our energy still produces greenhouse gas emissions, and hundreds of millions lack access to energy. The world lacks safe, low-carbon, and cheap large-scale energy alternatives to fossil fuels. Until we scale up those alternatives the world will continue to face the two energy problems of today.

Latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) technology using phase change materials (PCMs) is a highly promising and effective way to store thermal energy [8, 9] in which PCMs can store a large amount of thermal energy during their phase change process at an approximately constant temperature [10]. In addition, LHTES technology
