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.
Application of phase change energy storage in new energy: The phase change materials with appropriate phase change temperature should be selected according to the practical application. The heat storage capacity and heat transfer rate of phase change materials should be improved while the volume of phase change materials is controlled.
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.
In general, Organic phase change energy storage materials have many advantages, such as thermal and chemical properties are relatively stable, high enthalpy of phase change, no phase separation and supercooling, non-toxic, low cost, etc.
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.
