“…K) limits their rate of thermal storage and release. To overcome this issue, finned configurations and high thermal conductivity substances, such as carbon fibers and metal matrix are normally added into PCM [7][8][9][10]. Jifen Wang et al [11] investigated the improvement in thermal properties of paraffin waxes by addition of TiO 2 nanoparticles.…”

“…According to the DSC curves, the peak temperature (223.2°C) of composite was similar to that of NaNO 3 /KNO 3 , and the latent heat of composite was 128 J/g, while that of nitrates was 142.2 J/g. And Li et al [62] also selected nitrate mixture KNO 3 /NaNO 3 (50 : 50 mol.%) as the PCM and SiC ceramic honeycomb (SCH) as the heat transfer promoter to make a new composite KNO 3 /NaNO 3 -SiC. Compared with that of the pure PCM, the melting point of this composite shifted slightly, and its latent heat was 72.8 J/g while the pure PCM was 106.3 J/g.…”

Solar thermal energy storage (TES) is an efficient way to solve the conflict between unsteady input energy and steady output energy in concentrating solar power plant. The latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) system is a main method of storing thermal energy using phase change materials (PCMs). Thermal properties, that is, melting points and latent heat, are the key parameters of PCMs for the TES system. In this paper, the PCMs are classified into inorganic and organic by the chemical composition, and according to the melting point, the inorganic PCMs can be divided into three contributions: low-temperature heat storage (less than 120°C), medium-temperature heat storage (120–300°C), and high-temperature heat storage (more than 300°C). The present article focuses mainly on the recent investigations on the melting point and latent heat of PCMs via DSC setup in the solar TES systems. The results can provide a good reference for the selection and utilization of PCMs in the solar TES systems.

“…Besides expanded graphite and metal foams, ceramic is also adopted recently as enhancement medium, as Li et al [14] reported. With the development of material science, there should be more materials with porous structure, such as graphene, aerogel, etc., under consideration for the enhancement of thermal conductivity as well as other properties.…”

Phase change materials (PCMs) are attracting significant attentions in research and application, categorized into mainly three types, that is, organic (O), inorganic (IO) and eutectic (E). This section introduces the experimental and numerical investigations conducted in recent decades, mainly focused on the properties enhancement of PCMs and the performance improvement of its application in latent heat storage (LHS) units, as well as the evaluation and optimization of LHS units. It was concluded that lots of contribution have been made to PCMs and LHS units analysis. However, there is still some weakness in research, such as the lackness of detailed and systematic research on properties, the nonuniform standard on testing method as well as the contradictory conclusions. The most evaluation of LHS units is based on energy, instead of exergy, entropy and entransy. There is another issue that most of the research is based on numerical analysis, while less experimental research is conducted, especially in the case of LHS unit.
