Scientific Reports, Published online: 19 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41598-026-41825-4 Multi-scale hybrid composites of erythritol/diatomite/GNP for enhanced thermal energy storage: experimental and machine learning optimization

This work investigates desalination salt thermal energy storage (TES) using a benchtop air-to-salt module and a complementary CFD study of an electro-thermal concept with embedded electrical heaters. Experiments were conducted at inlet air temperatures of 200, 300, and 400 °C for charging, storage, and discharge performance of the TES module. Dimensionless analysis using the Fourier number captur…
