Therefore, in order to solve these problems, researchers have conducted a lot of research on organic, inorganic, and composite phase change materials, and found that by adding nucleating agents and thickeners, the problems of inorganic phase change materials such as supercooling and phase separation...
Materials that are able to store latent and sensible energy in the form of light, heat, electricity or hydrogen and exhibit reversibility are known as energy-exchanging smart materials. Thermal energy is stored as a change in internal energy of a material as latent heat, thermochemical, sensible...
The main early use of phase change materials was in temperature-controlled heat storage devices. Over the years, this use has extended to several other applications and today is used in research into novel applications such as memory devices, photonics, actuators, thermal management solutions, and ...
