Abstract: Thermal energy storage (TES) technology relies on phase change materials (PCMs) to provide high-quality, high-energy density heat storage. However, their cost, poor structural performance, and low heat conductivity restrict their practical use.
In phase change thermal energy storage technology, PCMs play a crucial role in determining the performance of the energy storage system. Researching and finding safe, reliable, high energy density, and high-performance PCMs is key to the advancement of phase change thermal energy storage technology.
Phase Change Materials (PCMs) are substances that change their physical state without a change in temperature and can provide latent heat . In phase change thermal energy storage technology, PCMs play a crucial role in determining the performance of the energy storage system.
Material Performance Limitations: Despite the development of various phase change thermal energy storage materials, several performance shortcomings remain. Many materials have insufficient phase change latent heat, failing to meet the high energy density requirements of large-scale energy storage.
Among these, solid-liquid phase change offers larger latent heat compared to solid-solid phase change and exhibits smaller volumetric expansion compared to gas-liquid phase change. As a result, solid-liquid phase change thermal energy storage technology has been widely applied in practical engineering.
However, the application of electric fields in phase change thermal energy storage technology is still in the exploratory and developmental stages. Its practical performance and suitability require further in-depth evaluation through extensive experiments and engineering validation. 3.2.3.
