Get PricePhase 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.
Here, we focus on thermal storage device design and integration due to the significant need to bridge fundamental materials-level PCM research with applications. Although device designs are application dependent, general design principles for improved thermal storage do exist.
