Abstract :

Thermal energy storage (TES) systems are crucial for enhancing energy efficiency and enabling the integration of renewable energy sources. Phase Change Materials (PCM) is one of the most suitable materials for storing renewable energy. Phase change materials (PCMs) have emerged as an effective medium for TES due to their high energy density and ability to maintain nearly constant temperatures during phase transitions. Latent heat storage using phase change materials has applications in many areas, including building energy thermal management, waste heat recovery, temperature control, smart data, battery thermal control, microelectronic temperature control, photovoltaic thermal applications, space and vehicles, thermal energy storage applications, and greenhouse temperature control. In this review, topics include an overview of phase change materials (PCMs), use of PCMs in energy storage, use of PCMs in heating and cooling of buildings, use of PCMs in vehicles, and battery thermal management.
