Low temperature phase change materials for thermal energy storage: Current status and computational perspectives

Thermal Storage Based on Phase Change Materials (Pcms) for Refrigerated Transport and Distribution Applications Along the Cold Chain: A Review

“…Yin et al [38] reviewed cold energy storage and transport but only the ones considering the adoption of hydrates as PCMs. Hameed et al [39] reviewed the characteristics of low temperature PCMs and presented some applications. Besides, they treated heat transfer enhancement methods and the developed computational techniques to assess, predict, and optimize cold LTES.…”

Challenges and strategies for imidazolium ionic liquids as novel phase change materials for low and medium temperature thermal energy storage: A critical review

“…Eutectic mixtures of inorganic salts may experience congruent transition without stratification, but they still face challenges such as supercooling tendency and poor cycling stability. Previous studies have extensively reviewed the thermophysical properties or challenges of low temperature PCMs [10][11][12][13][14] . So far, it is safety to say no individual PCMs can perfectly meet all requirements in the field of thermal energy storage.…”

“…1. (a) Low temperature PCMs a) applications of PCMs at temperature range of -50 ~ 250 [12] , (b) PCMs in the temperature range of -100 ~ 200 against melting enthalpy [22] ; (c) Chemical structures of the main cations and anions used in imidazolium ILs. )…”

Preparation and Characterization of Bio-Based PLA/PEG/g-C3N4 Low-Temperature Composite Phase Change Energy Storage Materials

“…Therefore, while new energy is developing rapidly, people must also consider environmental issues and seek a sustainable, green development path [1,2]. Low-temperature phase change energy storage materials have applications in fields such as solar thermal power generation, transportation, thermal energy management [3], waste heat recovery [4], and building energy conservation [5]. In the process of developing phase change energy storage materials (PCMs), researchers have studied many different types of phase change materials, including inorganic compounds (such as salts, hydrates) and organic compounds [6] (such as paraffin, fatty acids), as well as polymeric materials (such as PEG).…”
