Accelerating the solar-thermal energy storage via inner-light supplying with optical waveguide

Abstract Solar-thermal storage with phase-change material (PCM) plays an important role in solar energy utilization. However, most PCMs own low thermal conductivity which restricts the thermal charging rate in bulk samples and leads to low solar-thermal conversion efficiency. Here, we propose to reg...
