- MakaleAçık Erişim2026Thermal Energy Storage Performance of EPCM-Impregnated Moss Biomass Placed in OKAL Chipboard for Use in Building Envelopes and Interior Space Separation
Can, Ahmet; Erata, Hüseyin; Gencel, Osman; Erol, Tuğçenur Bayraktar; Sarı, Ahmet; Batan, Nevzat
This study develops an innovative thermal energy storage approach for lightweight building systems by using eutectic phase change material (EPCM)-impregnated moss biomass (Cp/EPCM) in the internal voids of OKAL chipboard (OKS-Cp/EPCM). A high latent heat storage (LHS) capacity of 121.4 J/g was achieved with a 72% EPCM loading. Furthermore, the thermal conductivity of the OKS-Cp/EPCM decreased from 0.15074 W/m·K to 0.109 W/m·K. Thermal imaging results showed that the OKS-Cp/EPCM improved thermal comfort by reducing the surface temperature by approximately 10.5 °C in hot environments and providing an approximately 1 °C higher surface temperature in cold environments. However, TGA analyses revealed that the thermal resistance of the composite was limited. Relative humidity results also indicated that Cp/EPCM positively contributed to the moisture regulation performance of the board. Based on these results, OKS-Cp/EPCM offers a promising solution for the development of energy-efficient and thermally comfortable lightweight building elements.

- MakaleAçık Erişim2026Valorization of Moss biomass as a natural porous Matrix for shape-stable phase change material (PCM) composites
Can, Ahmet; Ganguly, Sauradipta; Gencel, Osman; Sarı, Ahmet; Erata, Hüseyin
Phase change materials (PCMs) are used to improve energy efficiency, particularly in building heat storage and passive thermal management applications. In this study, moss biomass ( Calliergonella cuspidata (Hedw.) Loeske) (Ca) was evaluated as a natural porous matrix, and a novel non leachable composite phase change material (PCM) was developed based on n-octadecane (n-OD). The moss biomass was impregnated with 60% n-OD by direct mixing method, and its structural stability was enhanced by the addition of Sodium silicate (SS) at 10% and 30% (by wt%) respectively. The morphological, chemical, and thermal properties of the composites were characterized by SEM, EDS, FTIR, DSC, TGA, XRD, and thermal conductivity analyses. SEM-EDS results showed that the moss biomass (Ca) had high porosity, with the addition of SS resulting in a more compact and homogeneous structure. FTIR analyses exhibited the formation of Si–O–Si bands, indicating successful integration of SS into the matrix. According to DSC analysis, the Ca/n-OD(60%) composite had a melting temperature of 26.1 °C and a melting enthalpy of 153.7 J/g whereas for the SS-added variants, these values were measured as 148.3 J/g (10%) and 144.2 J/g (30%), respectively. The enthalpy losses of only 2–3 J/g after 700 heating-cooling cycles indicated high thermal stability. TGA and XRD analyses showed that the addition of SS increased the thermal resistance of the composites, creating an amorphous network structure. The results indicate that moss-based Ca/n-OD/SS composites, with their compact, leak-free structure, high heat storage capacity, and excellent cyclic stability, hold promise as eco‑friendly materials for subsequent applications in: thermal energy storage for buildings, solar energy systems, and the thermal management of electronic components.

Ezer, Tülay; Alataş, Mevlüt; Batan, Nevzat; Erata, Hüseyin
In this study, the epiphytic bryophyte succession of the Buxus sempervirens L. forests in Fırtına Valley (Çamlıhemşin-Rize, North Türkiye), one of the nine biodiversity hotspots in Türkiye, was investigated. For this pur-pose, a total of 60 sampling plots were taken from the live trunks of B. sempervirens trees of different ages. Twenty-nine epiphytic bryophyte species were determined (24 mosses and 5 liverworts) within the sample plots. Also, six different life form types and four different habitat affinity categories were determined. Among them, the mat type life form is in first place with 34.4% and the cortico-saxicolous species are the most common with 51.7%. Two-way indicator species analysis (TWINSPAN) classified the epiphytic bryophyte communities on B. sempervirens trunks at the second level into two main clusters (A and B) and three sub-clusters (A1, B1 and, B2). Detrended correspondence analysis (DCA) axis 1 was interpreted as gradient along the height of the epiphytic habitat (from the lower base to the upper zone) on trunks and the DCA axis 2 was interpreted as gradient of moisture (from mesic to xeric). Exsertotheca crispa (Hedw.) S. Olsson, Enroth & D. Quandt was the species with the highest index of ecological significance (IES) value on the lower bases of the aged trees. Species diversity and epiphytic cover in the upper zones were lower than in the basal and middle zones in the study area. While Metzgeria furcata, (L.) Corda, Oxyrrhynchium hians (Hedw.) Loeske, Plagiothecium nemorale (Mitt.) A.Jaeger, and Radula lindenbergiana Gottsche ex C.Hartm were only found on old trees, Ctenidium molluscum (Hedw.) Mitt. and Pseudoleskeella nervosa (Brid.) Nyholm were only found on middle-aged trees.
