Role of phase change materials in thermal energy storage : Potential, recent progress and technical challenges

Thermal energy storage (TES) using phase change materials (PCM) have become promising solutions in addressing the energy fluctuation problem specifically in solar energy. However, the thermal conductivity of PCM is too low, which hinders TES and heat transfer rate. In recent days thermally enhanced...
