“…It can be seen that silicon has comparable cost with the traditional salts, but crucially an order of magnitude higher energy density. In addition to temperature and energy density, the thermophysical properties of each PCM have to be further evaluated identifying performance and cost optimization of a CSP plant [105]. Advances in thermophysical properties: The plethora of available PCM [101,106] and molten salts [102,107] have been tabulated in several reports along with their thermophysical properties of density, viscosity, thermal conductivity and heat capacity.…”

“…Among a comprehensive list of available PCM, silicon and aluminum-silicon have reported the lowest LCOE for melting points >1000 °C and >400 °C, respectively [105]. Among a comprehensive list of available PCM, silicon and aluminum-silicon have reported the lowest LCOE for melting points >1000 • C and >400 • C, respectively [105]. Industrial experience is advanced in both materials, however, their toxicity and stability is an area of further investigation if used for wide application in CSP.…”
