Abstract:The secret to the successful and widespread deployment of solar energy for thermal applications is effective and affordable heat storage. The ability to provide a high energy storage density and the capacity to store heat at a constant temperature corresponding to the phase transition temperature of the heat storage material (phase-change material or PCM) make latent heat storage one of the most alluring methods of heat storage. Today, it can be challenging to obtain all the published data on PCM qualities, in… Show more
“…Eu-PCMs fall between the temperature ranges of o-PCMs and io-PCMs. [166][167][168] In a recent paper, 155 PCMs were developed as microcapsules containing n-docosane (Fig. 6).…”
