Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Currently, various building projects face the serious challenges of significantly reducing operation energy consumption and carbon emissions, as required by the dual-carbon strategy, whilst creating comfortable living environments. Massive and efficient energy storage can effectively improve energy efficiency by energy peak shaving, solving the above problems. However, the integration of energy storage requires a multi-energy supply system, which can present new problems.
This Special Issue aims to showcase the latest advancements in low-cost and low-carbon energy storage materials and relevant systems, the performance of clean energy storage, and multi-energy supply systems integrated with energy storage systems, highlighting their potential to revolutionize building energy consumption and carbon emissions and contribute to more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly buildings.
We invite submissions that explore the design, formulation, innovative application, and latest research progress of various energy storage materials and the integration of energy storage materials with multi-energy supply systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Development and performance characterization of low-carbon thermal energy storage materials, including sensible heat storage materials, phase-change materials, and thermochemical heat storage materials.
- Latest review of design, formulation, and performance characterization of low-carbon energy storage materials.
- Innovative application methods of low-carbon energy storage materials.
- Theory and methods of energy storage systems integrated with multi-energy supply systems.
- Innovative manufacturing technologies.
- Case studies and applications.
Through this Special Issue, we aim to foster multidisciplinary communication among researchers, engineers, and industry professionals. Our goal is to highlight emerging trends, identify research gaps, and provide direction for the reduction in energy consumption and carbon emissions to meet the needs of modern building operations while adhering to the principles of green sustainability.
