Organic phase change materials are extensively utilized in thermal energy storage systems to integrate and manage the renewable energy. However, the tendency of organic phase change materials to leak out during the phase transition process, limits their practical applications in thermal energy storage.
Phase change materials (PCMs)-based thermal storage systems have a lot of potential uses in energy storage and temperature control. However, organic PCMs (OPCMs) face limitations in terms of regulating phase change temperature, low thermal conductivity, and inadequate functionality for diverse applications.
However, the tendency of organic phase change materials to leak out during the phase transition process, limits their practical applications in thermal energy storage. The shape-stabilization is an effective strategy to prevent the leakage and enhance the energy storage capacity of organic phase change materials.
Phase-change materials (PCMs), such as salt hydrates 1, metal alloys 2, or organics 3, store thermal energy in the form of latent heat, above their phase-transition temperature, which is released via reverse-phase transformation 4.
The limited application of organic polymers in phase change energy storage is attributed to their low thermal conductivity . This limitation primarily arises because heat transfer in non-metallic materials, such as organic polymers, depends on elastic waves from lattice vibrations, known as phonon energy transfer , .
Different approaches have been espoused by researchers to solve the energy crises from natural, synthetic as well as renewable resources. Phase change materials (PCMs) are functional materials which advocate the same purpose as a function of temperature and can absorb thermal energy in the form of latent heat.
