However, the relatively low thermal conductivity of the majority of promising PCMs (<10 W/ (m ⋅ K)) limits the power density and overall storage efficiency.
In recent years intensive research has been conducted on phase change materials (PCMs) for both energy storage and thermal regulation of equipment and buildings. However, a great number of PCMs are derived from fossil fuel industry such as paraffin. Thus, bio-sourced PCM can be utilized and hence contribute to achieve the sustainability goals.
Soumen Mandal Phase Change Materials (PCMs) are innovative materials that absorb and release thermal energy during phase transitions, making them ideal for thermal energy storage applications. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of PCMs, focusing on their functioning mechanisms, classifications, and shape stabilization methods.
1. Introduction Phase change energy storage materials (PCESM) refer to compounds capable of efficiently storing and releasing a substantial quantity of thermal energy during the phase transition process.
In a recent issue of Angewandte Chemie, Chen et al. proposed a new concept of spatiotemporal phase change materials with high super-cooling to realize long-duration storage and intelligent release of latent heat, inspiring the design of advanced solar thermal fuels.
Materials with phase changes effectively store energy. Solar energy is used for air-conditioning and cooking, among other things. Latent energy storage is dependent on the storage medium’s phase transition. Acetate of metal or nonmetal, melting point 150–500°C, is used as a storage medium.
