What is a liquid-infused solar-absorbing foam Charger?

We fabricate a liquid-infused solar-absorbing foam charger that can rapidly advance the receding solid-liquid charging interface to efficiently store solar-thermal energy as latent heat and spontaneously float upward to cease the charging process upon overheating.

What is energy storage mobile charging?

Our Energy Storage Mobile Charging system is crafted to withstand a variety of environmental conditions. Its robust design ensures stable and reliable performance, regardless of the weather or climate. With this system, you can be confident that your charging needs will be met with consistency and dependability.

Can flexible LPG foam be used to charge solar-thermal energy?

To explore STES within large-volume PCMs, the rigid carbon foam and the flexible LPG foam with the same diameter of ~35 mm were used as the fixed and dynamic charger to charge solar-thermal energy within bulk PCMs including PW (50 g), SA (50 g), and ET (80 g) under a power density of ~0.2, ~0.25, and ~ 0.5 W/cm 2, respectively.

What is solar-thermal energy storage (STES)?

Solar-thermal energy storage (STES) within solid-liquid phase change materials (PCMs) has emerged as an attractive solution to overcome intermittency of renewable energy. However, current storage systems usually suffer from slow charging rates, sacrificed storage capacity, and overheating tendency.

How does smart energy storage work?

Our system harnesses the power of smart energy storage, strategically accumulating energy during off-peak hours to optimize cost efficiency. This intelligent design not only eases the burden on the power grid but also translates into savings for users, making EV charging more economical.

Can LPG foam be used to charge under concentrated solar illumination?

When charging under concentrated solar illumination, the gravity-driven sinking of LPG foam enables ultrafast charging without safety concerns.
