Phase change materials (PCMs)-based thermal storage systems have a lot of potential uses in energy storage and temperature control. However, organic PCMs (OPCMs) face limitations in terms of regulating phase change temperature, low thermal conductivity, and inadequate functionality for diverse applications.
The issues that have restricted the use of latent heat storage include the thermal stability of the storage materials and the limitation of the container size. The study of the influence of thermal cycling on the properties of PCMs, such
Organic phase change materials (PCMs) are defined as saturated hydrocarbons, primarily categorized into paraffinic and nonparaffinic types, which include compounds such as paraffin wax and fatty acids.
Inorganic PCMs include salts, salt hydrates, and metals. These compounds generally have a higher latent heat than organic PCMs, making them more efficient at storing thermal energy. However, inorganic PCMs are often thermally unstable, which can lead to problems during repeated thermal cycles.
Phase change energy storage technology, as an efficient means of energy storage, has an extremely high energy storage density, and can store or release thermal energy under isothermal conditions, which is an effective means of improving the

Phase-change materials (PCMs) allow large amounts of energy to be stored in relatively small volumes, resulting in some of the lowest storage media costs of any storage concepts.

Thermal energy storage (TES) technology relies on phase change materials (PCMs) to provide high-quality, high-energy density heat storage. However, their cost, poor structural performance, and low heat conductivity restrict their practical use.
Based on several researches, the drawbacks are the low thermal conductivity held by several organic phase change materials resulting in low charging as well as releasing rates, supercooling consequence in cooling cycles, and the requirement for containers to avoid the leakage of phase change materials .

However, organic PCMs (OPCMs) face limitations in terms of regulating phase change temperature, low thermal conductivity, and inadequate functionality for diverse applications.
It was found that the change in melting temperature was very small, with a change in melting latent heat ranging from −35 % to 25 %. The thermal cycling test results showed that these materials had good thermal stability. Organic solid-phase transition energy storage materials mainly include polyols and polymers.
Organic phase change materials (PCMs) are the most common heat storage components in latent heat based thermal energy storage (TES) systems.
Phase change materials (PCMs) with significant properties tend to store and release energy and fill the demand and supply gap. Most organic and inorganic PCMs are not considered environmentally eco-friendly when used for thermal energy storage (TES).
Organic phase change materials are in general chemically stable, do not suffer from supercooling, are non-corrosive, are non-toxic and have a high latent heat of fusion. Organic PCMs can be subdivided in two groups: paraffins (i) and non-paraffins (ii). 2021, Journal of Energy Storage Amir Al-Ahmed, ... Fahad A. Al-Sulaiman
