Nowadays, building construction is increasingly carried out using modern lightweight materials and large glass surfaces. Lightweight constructions lack thermal-storage capacity, so room temperatures may quickly rise to a level that is equal to or even higher than the temperature outside; moreover, balancing the temperature between day and night time always leads to huge amounts of energy waste. This make scientists search for new solutions. One of the options is to develop energy storage devices.
