As evident from the literature, development of phase change materials is one of the most active research fields for thermal energy storage with higher efficiency. This review focuses on the application of various phase change materials based on their thermophysical properties.
J. Mater. Chem. A. 2021; 9: 9798 Optically-regulated thermal energy storage in diverse organic phase-change materials. Photochemical phase transitions enable coharvesting of photon energy and ambient heat for energetic molecular solar thermal batteries that upgrade thermal energy.
In this context, phase change materials (PCMs) have emerged as key solutions for thermal energy storage and reuse, offering versatility in addressing contemporary energy challenges.
Good thermal stability: organic phase change materials (PCMs) exhibit favorable thermal stability, enabling them to endure multiple cycles of melting and solidification without undergoing degradation. Cost: some organic PCMs can be expensive compared to traditional thermal storage materials like water.
The review paper suggests various potential directions for future research to advance the field of photovoltaic-thermoelectric (PV-TE) technologies. One possible gap is the development of new phase change materials (PCMs) with improved thermal properties that are better suited for use in PV-TE systems.
In particular, the melting point, thermal energy storage density and thermal conductivity of the organic, inorganic and eutectic phase change materials are the major selection criteria for various thermal energy storage applications with a wider operating temperature range.
