Abstract. Thermal storage technology based on phase change material (PCM) holds significant potential for temperature regulation and energy storage application. However, solid–liquid PCMs are often limited by leakage issues during phase changes and are not sufficiently functional to meet the demands of diverse applications.
Consult MoreStill, when the material is at a higher phase change temperature, the stored heat is 1.5 times the thermal density of the sensible heat storage. The reason for choosing composite materials is that filling and emptying the thermal system is time-constrained, thereby mandating the transfer of heat into and out of the system rapidly [227] .
