Volume 2, Issue 8, 18 August 2021, 100540 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.
Flexible Phase Change Composites with Excellent Thermal Energy Storage for the Thermal Management of Electronic Devices Phase change materials (PCMs) are used in the field of thermal management because of their ability to absorb and release thermal energy through latent heat.
Thermal energy storage (TES) with phase change materials (PCM) was applied as useful engineering solution to reduce the gap between energy supply and energy demand in cooling or heating applications by storing extra energy generated during peak collection hours and dispatching it during off-peak hours .
Phase change materials (PCMs) can enhance the performance of energy systems by time shifting or reducing peak thermal loads. The effectiveness of a PCM is defined by its energy and power density—the total available storage capacity (kWh m −3) and how fast it can be accessed (kW m −3 ).
2. Phase change material (PCM) PCMs are types of material that may keep a massive quantity of heat at a nearly consistent temperature while transitioning from one step to the next. They have the ability to store heat energy in both sensible and latent forms.
Highlight of differences with available data. This study reports the results of the screening process done to identify viable phase change materials (PCMs) to be integrated in applications in two different temperature ranges: 60–80 °C for mid-temperature applications and 150–250 °C for high-temperature applications.
