THERMAL ENERGY STORAGE MATERIAL BASED ON 3D PRINTED CERAMIC STRUCTURES INFILTRATED WITH PHASE CHANGE MATERIALS

CSIC has developed a method to manufacture more efficient thermal energy storage materials by infiltrating highly porous 3D printed ceramic structures with phase change materials. This technology can be easily transferred to a mass production and the developed materials can be employed in technological applications linked to the storage and use of thermal energy.

Industrial partners from energy and/or additive manufacturing fields are being sought to collaborate through a patent licence agreement for the development of thermal energy storage materials.
