Review on phase change materials for solar energy storage applications
Phase change materials can be applied to various solar energy systems for prolonged heat energy storage, which is relatively sound as the solar energy is discontinuous
MXene-based phase transition materials are interesting for solar TES applications because they greatly improve thermal conductivity, heat storage capacity, and thermal stability. PCMs have been created to improve energy storage systems, especially in applications like photovoltaic systems, solar absorption chillers, and buildings.
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.
Phase change materials (PCMs) are suitable for various solar energy systems for prolonged heat energy retaining, as solar radiation is sporadic. This literature review presents the application of the PCM in solar thermal power plants, solar desalination, solar cooker, solar air heater, and solar water heater.
