On August 26, 2026, the inaugural editorial board meeting of Solar Thermal Conversion and Storage was successfully held. As the first international academic journal dedicated to solar thermal conversion, it is supervised by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), sponsored by the Institute of Electrical Engineering, CAS, and published by China Science Publishing & Media.
For a long time, the world has lacked a dedicated academic platform primarily publishing scientific and technological research on solar thermal conversion. Relevant research findings have been scattered across various comprehensive energy journals, with the pace of publication unable to keep up with the rapid industry development driven by the "dual carbon" goals.
As the world's only professional international academic journal exclusively focused on solar thermal conversion technology, particularly concentrating solar power, Solar Thermal Conversion and Storage prioritizes publishing academic articles on disruptive technologies and articles documenting system operational data. Aimed at global researchers and engineering professionals, the journal focuses on areas including light concentration, heat absorption, thermal storage, solar thermal desalination, thermochemistry, solar thermal materials, power cycles, and system integration. It seeks to build an international academic exchange platform, accelerate the rapid iteration of solar thermal technology innovation, and promote the high-quality development of the global solar thermal utilization industry!
