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.

Article Description
Erythritol (ET) holds significant potential for medium-temperature solar energy heat utilization. However, its phase change process is susceptible to issues such as leakage, and adhesion to the container. Nanoencapsulation is considered an effective method to mitigate these challenges. Until now, progress in ET nanocapsulation with excellent phase change properties has been limited. This study is dedicated to improving the phase change properties of ET nanoencapsulation. We innovatively synthesized ET nanocapsules (NCETs) with a silica shell using the Sol-gel method. The NCETs were characterized to validate the encapsulation effect and to uncover the mechanism through which thermal cycling affects the thermal storage performance of NCETs. The results show that the NCETs are mostly fabricated at 46-70 nm in diameter, have a melting enthalpy of 294.3 J/g, and a thermal storage efficiency of 78.33%. Continuous thermal cycling leads to aging degradation of ET and damage to the shell layer of the nanocapsules. These factors are the primary reasons for the reduction in the phase change enthalpy of NCETs. The NCETs studied in this research have broad applications in solar medium-temperature heat utilization, waste heat recovery, and various other fields.
