Organic PCMs are substances that undergo a phase transition (solid-liquid or liquid-gas) at specific temperatures, enabling them to store and release latent heat.
Phase change materials (PCMs)-based thermal storage systems have a lot of potential uses in energy storage and temperature control. However, organic PCMs (OPCMs) face limitations in terms of regulating phase change temperature, low thermal conductivity, and inadequate functionality for diverse applications.
Phase change materials (PCM) are one of the most effective and on-going fields of research in terms of energy storage. Especially, organic phase change materials (OPCM) has grabbed a lot of attention due to its excellent properties that can be combined with thermal energy storage systems to preserve renewable energy.
Journal portfolios in each of our subject areas. Links to Books and Digital Library content from across Sage. Organic phase change materials (O-PCMs) such as alkanes, fatty acids, and polyols have recently attracted enormous attention for thermal energy storage (TES) due to availability in a wide range of temperatures and high latent heat values.
2. Phase change materials The PCMs are latent heat storage materials that have high heat of fusion, high thermal energy storage densities compared to sensible heat storage materials and absorb and release heat at a constant temperature when undergoing a phase change process (e.g. solid–liquid).
Based on the reviews made with various organic phase change (paraffin, non-paraffin, fatty acids, etc.), paraffin type of organic phase change materials has been considered to be more suitable for a higher thermal conductivity in energy applications.
Nano-encapsulated organic phase change material based on copolymer nanocomposites for thermal energy storage Nanoparticle-enhanced phase change materials (NEPCM) with great potential for improved thermal energy storage Numerical study on melting of paraffin wax with Al 2 O 3 in a square enclosure
A new era of energy-efficient solutions has arrived thanks to the revolutionary class of substances known as phase change materials (PCMs), which have the extraordinary capacity to store and releas.
Volume 2, Issue 8, 18 August 2021, 100540 Phase 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.
The short duration of heat storage limits the effectiveness of TES. Phase change materials (PCMs) are a current global research focus due to their desirable thermal properties, which improve energy performance and thermal comfort. PCMs require relatively less synthesis effort while maintaining high efficiency and enhancing cost-effectiveness.
Phase change materials (PCMs) used for the storage of thermal energy as sensible and latent heat are an important class of modern materials which substantially contribute to the efficient use and conservation of waste heat and solar energy.

Chem.
In particular, the melting point, thermal energy storage density and thermal conductivity of the organic, inorganic and eutectic phase change materials are the major selection criteria for various thermal energy storage applications with a wider operating temperature range.
A thorough literature survey on the phase change materials for TES using Web of Science led to more than 4300 research publications on the fundamental science/chemistry of the materials, components, systems, applications, developments and so on, during the past 25 years.
