Business model innovations driven by changing regime boundary conditions
“From 2012 to 2020, 17 vehicle manufacturers and 38 electric cars revealed a diverse menu of options with business model innovations originating at the crossing of boundaries between the electric and automotive socio-technical systems.”
Achieving high power and energy density thermal storage in phase change materials
In this study, we propose an approach that achieves spatial control of the melt-front location of pure phase change materials using pressure-enhanced close contact melting, enhancing thermal management and storage to support a rapidly-electrifying energy infrastructure.
