A comprehensive review on phase change materials for heat storage

Thermal energy storage (TES) using PCMs (phase change materials) provide a new direction to renewable energy harvesting technologies, particularly, for the continuous operation of the solar-biomass thermal energy systems.

A new way to store thermal energy

A common approach to thermal storage is to use what is known as a phase change material (PCM), where input heat melts the material and its phase change — from solid to liquid — stores energy. When the PCM is cooled back down below its melting point, it turns back into a solid, at which point the stored energy is released as heat.
