Phase change materials (PCMs) having a large latent heat during solid-liquid phase transition are promising for thermal energy storage applications. However, the relatively low thermal conductivity of the majority of promising PCMs (<10 W/ (m ⋅ K)) limits the power density and overall storage efficiency.
Desirable properties of phase-changing materials that make them suitable for energy storage mediums are specific heat, latent heat, thermal conductivity, density, and expansion coefficient. Among all properties, latent heat, specific heat, and thermal conductivity play a significant role in particular material applications.
The very purpose of energy storage systems based on phase-changing materials is to utilize energy when required. It can be suitable for different applications and compatibility with secondary applications requirements. Table 6 incorporates contribution of researchers in specific application.
The value of a phase change material is defined by its energy and power density—the total available storage capacity and the speed at which it can be accessed. These are influenced by material properties but cannot be defined with these properties alone.
Traditional phase change composites for photo-thermal conversion absorb solar energy and transform it into thermal energy at the top layers. The middle and bottom layers are heated by long-distance thermal diffusion.
Solar thermal energy can be stored in phase changing material (PCM) in the forms of latent and sensible heat. The stored energy can be suitably utilized for other applications such as space heating and cooling, water heating, and further industrial processing where low-temperature heat energy is required.
