“…The lower thermal conductivity of OPCMs reduces the rate of heat transfer, which causes increase in temperature gradient and insensitivity to temperature changes across the system boundaries. OPCMs, with potential advantage as TES materials, are being developed for applications including air conditioning, ie, natural air cooling, cold thermal storage and absorption refrigeration, waste heat recovery, solar energy storage, thermal regulating fabric, passive heating of building, heat pipes, desalination, thermal management of electronic devices and electric vehicle batteries, spacecraft, and other integrated thermal control systems such as trombe wall, PCM‐filled wallboards, shutter, concrete, under floor heating systems, ceiling boards, and hot water supply . However, the leakage issue and lower thermal conductivity of OPCMs causes harm with interacting medium and results in energy efficiency losses of the thermal system.…”

Summary With advancement in technology—nanotechnology, various thermal energy storage (TES) materials have been invented and modified with promising thermal transport properties. Solid‐liquid phase change materials (PCMs) have been extensively used as TES materials for various energy applications due to their highly favourable thermal properties. The class of PCMs, organic phase change materials (OPCMs), has more potential and advantages over inorganic phase change materials (IPCMs), having high phase change enthalpy. However, OPCMs possess low thermal conductivity as well as density and suffer leakage during the melting phase. The encapsulation technologies (ie, micro and nano) of PCMs, with organic and inorganic materials, have a tendency to enhance the thermal conductivity, effective heat transfer, and leakage issues as TES materials. The encapsulation of PCMs involves several technologies to develop at both micro and nano levels, called micro‐encapsulated PCMs (micro‐PCM) and nano‐encapsulated PCMs (nano‐PCM), respectively. This study covers a wide range of preparation methods, thermal and morphological characteristics, stability, applications, and future perspective of micro‐/nano‐PCMs as TES materials. The potential applications, such as solar‐to‐thermal and electrical‐to‐thermal conversions, thermal management, building, textile, foam, medical industry of micro‐ and nano‐PCMs, are reviewed critically. Finally, this review paper highlights the emerging future research paths of micro‐/nano‐PCMs for thermal energy storage.

“…30 However, due to the low thermal conductivity, pure PCMs cannot fully meet the cooling demands of a BTMS. To this end, many researchers proposed different solutions such as adding metal powders, 31 carbon bers, 32 graphite [33][34][35][36] and foam metals [37][38][39][40][41][42] to form a composite PCM so as to improve its thermal conductivity. Besides, some studies tried to use a metal with low melting point 43 and water evaporation 44 for a BTMS, achieving higher battery performances.…”

The paper presents numerical results on an innovative concept of an efficient, site-specific cooling technology for microprocessor hot spots using Alternating Current Electrothermal Flow (ACET). ACET deploys an electrokinetic transport mechanism without requiring any external prime mover and can be shown to be highly effective in reducing hot spot temperatures below their allowable limits. The proposed technique leverages the heat source(s) itself to drive the fluid in the ACET cooling mechanism, thereby making this a highly energy efficient active technique. Our parametric analyses present the optimal range of fluid properties, viz. electrical conductivity where the cooling efficiency is maximum.Further, the impact of geometrical parameters as well as input voltages has been characterized. Our results show a reduction of hot spot temperature by more than 30% for flow through a channel of 600 microns under appropriate conditions at an applied AC voltage of 10-12 V. Comparison with other micro-cooler technologies show the proposed technique to be more energy efficient in its range of operation. These results establish the potential of the ACET cooling and can open up a new avenue to be explored for thermal management of miniaturized devices and systems.
