1. Introduction Phase change energy storage materials (PCESM) refer to compounds capable of efficiently storing and releasing a substantial quantity of thermal energy during the phase transition process.
Materials with phase changes effectively store energy. Solar energy is used for air-conditioning and cooking, among other things. Latent energy storage is dependent on the storage medium’s phase transition. Acetate of metal or nonmetal, melting point 150–500°C, is used as a storage medium.
Salt hydrate phase change material (PCM) gives a 22% boost to energy performance. In energy stocks, PCM lessens induced stresses and strains. MXene-based phase transition materials are interesting for solar TES applications because they greatly improve thermal conductivity, heat storage capacity, and thermal stability.
High latent heat is exhibited by phase change energy storage materials (PCESMs), which store heat isothermally during phase transitions. The temperature range of different materials is extensive, ranging from −20 to 180°C. Enhancing thermal properties using additives and encapsulation.
