Phase change materials (PCMs) having a large latent heat during solid-liquid phase transition are promising for thermal energy storage applications. However, the relatively low thermal conductivity of the majority of promising PCMs (<10 W/ (m ⋅ K)) limits the power density and overall storage efficiency.
Large volumes or high pressures are required for thermal storage of materials in the gas phase, making the system complex and impracticable. As a result, the sole phase change used for heat storage is the solid–liquid phase change . The characteristics of solid–solid and solid–liquid PCMs is shown in Table 1. Table 1.
Thermal energy storage (TES) using PCMs (phase change materials) provide a new direction to renewable energy harvesting technologies, particularly, for the continuous operation of the solar-biomass thermal energy systems. It plays an important role in harvesting thermal energy and linking the gap between supply and demand of energy [1, 2].
Although device designs are application dependent, general design principles for improved thermal storage do exist. First, the charging or discharging rate for thermal energy storage or release should be maximized to enhance efficiency and avoid superheat.
