Summary

Effective heat management is a foundation of high-performing, safe, and sustainable energy systems. Issues such as thermal energy management for electric vehicle batteries, heat removal for high-power electronics, and optimal recovery of waste heat for different manufacturing processes require innovative engineering solutions. Advances in materials science and new system designs for heat management are key to addressing these issues and improving energy efficiency.


The Special Issue, "Advanced Materials and Innovative Engineering for Thermal Management in Energy Systems," is intended to gather high-quality scientific papers and review articles on the most recent experimental, analytical, or practical advances in this field. We want to bring to light innovative works that push the boundaries of new materials, manufacturing processes, or heat-transfer systems.


The areas of current interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:
· Development and Application of Advanced Thermal Materials: Nanofluids, nano-enhanced Phase Change Materials (PCMs), composites, and high-conductivity metamaterials.
· Innovations in Heat Exchangers & Heat Sink Design: New geometries, Additive manufacturing or 3D Printing of Cooling Systems, & Engineering of Cooling Surfaces.
· Passive & Active Thermal Systems: Designed for electronics cooling, battery packs, and power modules.
· Thermal Energy Storage Systems: Material and system innovations for sensible, latent, and thermochemical heat storage.
· Waste Heat Recovery and Utilization: Advanced thermodynamic cycles and direct conversion methods.
· Energy and Exergy Analysis of Thermal Systems: Methods for enhancing the sustainability and efficiency of energy conversion systems.
· Experimental Techniques and Characterization: New techniques for experimental characterization of thermal properties, as well as system performance.
