A group of scientists from the Technical University of Madrid has fabricated a latent heat thermophotovoltaic (LHTPV) battery that is able to store electricity in the form of latent heat at ...

In this video, Jonny Nelson introduces an animated explanation of latent heat. Changes in a material’s temperature or state of matter are caused by changes to the internal energy. The energy ...

Researchers at Politecnico di Torino in Italy are testing how latent heat thermal storage (LHTS) could be used in combination with rooftop PV to achieve nearly zero-energy buildings (NZEB).

The heating curve of water. Note the flat lines on the curve where the latent heat must be overcome to change phase. Unlike batteries or capacitors, phase change materials don’t store energy as ...
