Are phase change materials suitable for thermal energy storage?

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.

What is a phase change in a PCM?

In the phase transformation of the PCM, the solid–liquid phase change of material is of interest in thermal energy storage applications due to the high energy storage density and capacity to store energy as latent heat at constant or near constant temperature.

What are the selection criteria for thermal energy storage applications?
