Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Review Description
Thermal energy storage is one of the most efficient ways to store solar energy for heating air by energy collected from sun. The relative studies are involved to the type of collection with the type of storage, i.e. separated to each other or integrated. This review summarizes the previous works on solar air heaters with storage materials include greenhouse, encapsulation, and the latest development in the solar thermal energy storage with air as a heat transfer fluid. The recent researches focused on the phase change materials (PCMs), as latent heat storage is more efficient than sensible heat storage. It has been appeared that PCM with high latent heat and suitable geometry are required for optimum thermal performance of solar air heater. The recent designs of solar air heaters with thermal storage units reduced the cost and the volume when integrated in one product.
