Buildings are energy intensive and contribute to carbon dioxide emissions while accounting for one-third of energy consumption worldwide. Heat pump technology can assist in electrification and decarbonization efforts.
Free-standing, thin films were fabricated with a binder resulting in nearly an order of magnitude thickness decrease while increasing porosity and activation energy. These effects of such diminished significantly. Free-standing films could be fabricated with a binder.
This technology creates a light and metalless current collector for battery application. Cathodes coated on this new current collector demonstrated similar contact resistance, lower charge transfer resistance and similar or high rate performance.
The widespread use of inexpensive salt hydrate-based phase change materials, or PCMs, has been prevented by a key technical challenge: phase separation, also known as incongruency, which results in the significant degradation of the materials' ability to store thermal energy o
