However, the relatively low thermal conductivity of the majority of promising PCMs (<10 W/ (m ⋅ K)) limits the power density and overall storage efficiency.
Phase change materials (PCMs) used for the storage of thermal energy as sensible and latent heat are an important class of modern materials which substantially contribute to the efficient use and conservation of waste heat and solar energy.
Various modes of thermal energy storage are known. Sensible heat storage represents the thermal energy uptake owing to the heat capacity of the materials over the operational temperature range. In latent-heat mode, the energy is stored in a reversible phase transition of a phase change material (PCM).
Currently, it is mainly solid–liquid PCMs that are studied and used in energy storage applications because the solid–solid PCMs generally show smaller latent heat of phase transition. However, the solid–solid PCMs have the major advantages of a smaller volume change during the phase change than solid–liquid PCMS and they cannot leak . 3.2.1.
By controlling the temperature of phase transition, thermal energy can be stored in or released from the PCM efficiently. Figure 1 B is a schematic of a PCM storing heat from a heat source and transferring heat to a heat sink.
In a recent issue of Angewandte Chemie, Chen et al. proposed a new concept of spatiotemporal phase change materials with high super-cooling to realize long-duration storage and intelligent release of latent heat, inspiring the design of advanced solar thermal fuels.
