Phase change materials (PCMs) have been envisioned for thermal energy storage (TES) and thermal management applications (TMAs), such as supplemental cooling for air-cooled condensers in power plants (to obviate water usage), electronics cooling (to reduce the environmental footprint of data centers), and buildings. In recent reports, machine learning (ML) techniques have been deployed to improve the sustainability, performance, resilience, robustness, and reliability of TES platforms that use PCMs by leveraging the Cold Finger Technique (CFT) to avoid supercooling (since supercooling can degrade the effectiveness and reliability of TES). Recent studies have shown that reliability of PCMs can be enhanced using additives, such as nucleators and gelling agents, including for organic (paraffin wax) and inorganic (e.g., salt hydrates and eutectics) PCMs. Additionally, material compatibility studies for PCMs with different metals and alloys have also garnered significant attention. Long-term studies for demonstrating the material stability and reliability of candidate PCMs will be summarized in this review book chapter.

“…Nowadays, molten salt nanofluids are used as thermal energy storage (TES) materials for concentrated solar power (CSP) plants for large scale power generation. However, the appropriate synthesizing of molten salt for enhanced specific heat capacity is becoming an obstacle in its application [ 4 ]. Electrochemical energy storage is the most popular way to store energy for further use and there are several systems including fuel cells, supercapacitors, and batteries which are applied to store energy thermochemically.…”

In recent years, the increasing energy requirement and consumption necessitates further improvement in energy storage technologies to obtain high cycling stability, power and energy density, and specific capacitance. Two-dimensional metal oxide nanosheets have gained much interest due to their attractive features, such as composition, tunable structure, and large surface area which make them potential materials for energy storage applications. This review focuses on the establishment of synthesis approaches of metal oxide nanosheets (MO nanosheets) and their advancements over time, as well as their applicability in several electrochemical energy storage systems, such as fuel cells, batteries, and supercapacitors. This review provides a comprehensive comparison of different synthesis approaches of MO nanosheets, as well their suitability in several energy storage applications. Among recent improvements in energy storage systems, micro-supercapacitors, and several hybrid storage systems are rapidly emerging. MO nanosheets can be employed as electrode and catalyst material to improve the performance parameters of energy storage devices. Finally, this review outlines and discusses the prospects, future challenges, and further direction for research and applications of metal oxide nanosheets.

“…These include high energy density, fast charging/discharging, and low self-discharge rate. [1][2][3][4][5] However, their performance is constrained by the limited specific capacity and potential of conventional commercial anode like graphite, necessitating innovative solutions. The lithium metal anode shows immense promise as a material for anodes, owing to its outstanding features.…”

The significant expansion in volume and the formation of dendrites on lithium metal anodes lead to poor electrochemical reversi-bility. In this study, ZnO, N-dually doped carbon (p-ZNCC) was synthesized using oxygen plasma assistance and zeolitic imidazo-late framework-8 (ZIF-8). The use of plasma ensures tight and uniform growth of ZIF-8 particles on carbon fiber, promoting the formation of lithiophilic pyrrolic N after sintering. This enables uniform lithium deposition and rapid lithium-ion diffusion during the operation. The resulting lithium electrode with the p-ZNCC host (p-ZNCC-Li) exhibits stable lithium stripping/plating for up to 3000 h and a voltage hysteresis of 36 mV when cycled at 10 mA cm-2-10 mAh cm-2. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) reveals low charge transfer resistance and a high diffusion coefficient for p-ZNCC-Li. Moreover, the LNMO||p-ZNCC-Li cell demonstrates improved capacity retention at 1 C after 250 cycles. This study introduces a novel approach to growing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with dual lithiophilic spots on carbon cloth, promising advancements in lithium metal anode design.
