Integration of Phase Change Materials (PCMs): Investigating the integration of PCMs into concrete can enhance its thermal energy storage capabilities. Research can focus on developing new PCM-concrete composites or exploring the use of microencapsulated PCMs to enhance the latent heat storage capacity of concrete. 4.
One of the areas gaining attention recently is the application of phase change materials (PCMs) in concrete. PCMs are materials capable of storing and releasing energy based on the temperature of the environment in which they are situated. This capability makes them provide heat during cold times, and absorb heat when the temperature is higher.
Phase change material can store and release energy at specific temperature ranges. Hence, incorporating PCM in concrete; which is the most used building material in the world can help in reducing energy consumption for buildings made with such concrete.
Phase change materials also referred to as latent heat storage materials (LHSMs), are materials that can absorb or liberate energy in terms of heat at certain temperatures [ 5 ]. As the material absorbs or liberates heat, there is a change in the physical state of the material from either solid to liquid or vice versa.
Strategies such as incorporating alternative cementitious materials or implementing carbon capture technologies enhance the sustainability of concrete-based TES systems. Extensive research on phase change materials (PCMs) focuses on enhancing efficiency and sustainability in thermal energy storage applications.
Introduction Phase Change Materials (PCMs) are “latent” thermal storage materials possessing a large amount of heat energy stored during its phase change stage . The energy required to change the phase of a substance is known as latent heat.
