High-temperature composite phase change material with “concrete-like” strength even beyond the eutectic temperature
A latent heat thermal energy storage composite with an Al–Cu–Si alloy-based microencapsulated phase change material has been developed. This composite exhibits a high compressive strength of 32 MPa, even when the internal alloy is in a liquid state.
