Materials that change phase (e.g., via melting) can store thermal energy with energy densities comparable to batteries. Phase change materials will play an increasing role in reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, by scavenging thermal energy for later use. Therefore, it is useful to have summaries of phase change properties over a …

Understanding Phase Change Materials for Thermal Energy Storage

Phase change materials absorb thermal energy as they melt, holding that energy until the material is again solidified. Better understanding the liquid state physics of this type of thermal storage may help accelerate technology development for the energy sector. "Modeling the physics of gases and solids is easier than liquids," said co ...

A review on phase change materials for different applications

Phase change materials (PCMs) are preferred in thermal energy storage applications due to their excellent storage and discharge capacity through melting and solidifications. PCMs store energy as a Latent heat-base which can be used back whenever required. The liquefying rate (melting rate) is a significant parameter that decides the …
