A series of -octadecane/mesoporous silica (C/MS) shape-stabilized phase change materials (SSPCMs) with varying C content were prepared, and the effects of adsorbed C distributed within porous MS on the thermal properties were analyzed. As characterized, C was first infiltrated into the mesoporous space, resulting in a SSPCM with a maximum of ∼52 wt % C. Additional adsorption of C occurred on the external surface of MS. Consequently, the optimum 70 wt % C SSPCM had no C leakage and exhibited a heat storage capacity of 135.6 J/g and crystallinity of 83.5%, which were much larger than those of 52 wt % C SSPCM (60.2 J/g and 68.2%, respectively). The prepared C/MS SSPCMs showed excellent thermal stability and thermal reliability up to 1000 accelerated thermal cycle tests. Moreover, the C/MS SSPCM incorporated in gypsum effectively reduced the temperature changes compared with the original gypsum, suggesting the promising application of the prepared C/MS SSPCM for energy-saving building applications.

The mining industry produces a large amount of industrial solid waste every year. Among them, fly ash (FA), slag and tailings are the three main solid wastes, which can cause soil pollution, air pollution, water pollution and serious threat to human health if not handled properly. At present, the treatment methods of industrial solid waste mainly include direct landfill, recovery of high-value components, production of construction materials, etc.

The reaction between molybdenum(ii) acetate and 5-aminoisophthalic acid (HIso-NH) afforded [MoO(μ-O)(Iso-NH)], a novel molybdenum(v) metal-organic polyhedron (MOP) with a triangular antiprismatic shape stabilized by intramolecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The synthesis conditions, particularly the choice of solvent and reaction time, led to the precipitation of the Mo(v)-MOP in five distinct crystalline forms. These forms vary in their packing arrangements, co-crystallized solvent molecules, and counter-cations, with three phases containing dimethylammonium (dma) and the other two containing diethylammonium (dea).

Global concerns about food and energy waste call for new sustainable solutions. Phase changing materials (PCM) are promising thermal storage and management materials which have potential to mitigate food waste, yet they often suffer from leakage and non-shape stability. Here, a green shape-stabilized polyethylene glycol 300 (PEG) nanocellulose-based composite was developed using readily available and cost-effective side streams from the brewery industry.

In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in phase change materials (PCM) based on dulcitol and other sugar alcohols. These materials have almost twice as large latent heat of fusion as other organic materials. Sugar alcohols are relatively cheap, and they can undergo cold crystallization, which is crucial for long-term thermal energy storage.

Wood, a renewable and abundant biomass resource, holds substantial promise as an encapsulation matrix for thermal energy storage (TES) applications involving phase change materials (PCMs). However, practical implementations often reveal a disparity between observed and theoretical phase change enthalpy values of wood-derived composite PCMs (CPCMs). This study systematically explores the confinement behavior of organic PCMs encapsulated in a delignified balsa wood matrix with morphology genetic nanostructure, characterized by a specific surface area of 25.
