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 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.
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.
High latent heat is exhibited by phase change energy storage materials (PCESMs), which store heat isothermally during phase transitions. The temperature range of different materials is extensive, ranging from −20 to 180°C. Enhancing thermal properties using additives and encapsulation.
The placement, thickness of the PCM layer, and fusion temperature all have an effect on energy savings and temperature changes . Due to the fluctuating temperature, phase change materials have found numerous applications. Materials that melt below 15°Celsius are utilised to cool and ventilate the room air.
