Phase change method is one of the efficient approach in resolving energy problem for solar energy storage. However, phase change materials seriously affect the heat storage system with low heat releasing and absorbing rate for poor thermal conductivity performance, which result in an inefficient thermal energy storage technology and uncertain economic perspective. In this paper, we prepared dual-functional phase change nanocapsules based on n-octadecane core and polypyrrole shell. Polypyrrole was employed to enhance the electric conductivity and thermal conductivity. The nanocapsules was characterized using Fourier transformed infrared spectrophotometer (FTIR), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), thermal gravimetric analyzer (TGA) and infrared thermal imaging. The results shows a good thermal behavior and high latent heat of 81.99J/g. The dual-fuctional phase change nanocapsules can be expected with a prospect of future profits in energy storage technology.

The connotations and denotations of the term net-zero-energy solar buildings (NZESBs) have been in constant flux because of continuous developments in solar heating technology, solar photovoltaic (PV) technology, building energy-storage technology, regional energy-storage technology, and energy-management systems. This paper focuses on innovative strategies for implementing NZESBs in Nanjing, China. These strategies include integrated architectural design, including passive solar design (respecting climatic characteristics and conducting integrated planning based on the environment, building orientation, distance between buildings, building shape, ratio of window area to wall area, and building envelope) and active solar design (integration of the solar-energy-collecting end of the system – collectors and PV panels – with the building surface – roof, wall surfaces, balconies, and sun-shading devices – and the integration of solar-energy transfer and storage equipment with the building). Some Nanjing-specific recommendations and findings on NZESBs are proposed. The results illustrate that NZESBs can be realized in Nanjing if solar energy technologies are appropriately integrated with the characteristics of Nanjing's geography, climate and buildings.
