Solid-liquid phase change materials (PCMs) have been studied for decades, with application to thermal management and energy storage due to the large latent heat with a relatively low temperature or volume change.
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.
Recent advancements in PCESMs have opened up opportunities for their extensive use in many industries, providing inventive solutions for effective energy storage, thermal regulation, and ecological sustainability.
Phase change materials (PCMs), which are commonly used in thermal energy storage applications, are difficult to design because they require excellent energy density and thermal transport, both of which are difficult to predict from simple physics-based models.
This research provides new insights into PCM-based energy storage optimization, particularly in applications requiring efficient cold energy storage.
In this review, we systematically examine the latest research in phase change thermal storage technology and place special emphasis on active methods using external field disturbances and hybrid approaches for enhancing PCM phase change heat transfer. This review focuses on three key aspects.
