However, the relatively low thermal conductivity of the majority of promising PCMs (<10 W/ (m ⋅ K)) limits the power density and overall storage efficiency.
1. Introduction Phase change energy storage materials (PCESM) refer to compounds capable of efficiently storing and releasing a substantial quantity of thermal energy during the phase transition process.
Phase change energy storage technology, as an efficient method for thermal energy storage, centers on the selection of PCMs. Among various types of PCMs, organic PCMs have attracted attention owing to their tiny supercooling, lower corrosiveness, and stable performance, leading to extensive research and application in relevant fields.
Materials with phase changes effectively store energy. Solar energy is used for air-conditioning and cooking, among other things. Latent energy storage is dependent on the storage medium’s phase transition. Acetate of metal or nonmetal, melting point 150–500°C, is used as a storage medium.
Phase change thermal storage systems offer distinct advantages compared to sensible heat storage methods. An area that is now being extensively studied is the improvement of heat transmission in thermal storage systems that involve phase shift . Phase shift energy storage technology enhances energy efficiency by using RESs.
Current research on grid-scale energy storage. Heat dissipation pipes and phase change material (PCM) are components of an energy storage system. Heat pipes for the dissipation of pulses that have parts for condensation, transmission, and evaporation. Materials with phase changes effectively store energy.
