Thermal Energy Transfer and Storage, 2nd Edition

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Topic is a continuation of the previous successful Topic “Thermal Energy Transfer and Storage”.

The energy crisis, environmental deterioration, and global greenhouse effect have become increasingly more serious in recent decades, leading to a rapid-growing demand for the utilization of renewable energy. Currently, their transience and intermittency have been concerns affecting further development and commercialization on device levels. Therefore, thermal energy storage has been widely used to provide a reliable thermal performance and stable power production. There are three kinds of TES technologies, including sensible heat storage (SHS), latent heat storage (LHS), and thermochemical heat storage (TCHS). In recent years, various scholars have placed emphasis on the improvement of energy-storage tanks, including novel structures and composite PCM by installing fins and adding high thermal conductivity materials. Thus, we are committed to providing a platform for high-quality papers in the field of thermal energy storage. This issue focuses on fundamental and applied research which could help to augment the charging/discharging performance of thermal energy storage.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.

MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:

1. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
2. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
3. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
4. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
5. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
