Abstract:In the current energy crisis, energy saving becomes important to reduce the gap of supply and demand of energy. Phase change material (PCM) plays a bigger role to store energy due to its high latent of fusion. The present article provides an insight into the present developments in enhancing the performance of inorganic PCMs. In this article, a comprehensive review of different techniques like mixing of different salts, addition of nanoparticle, addition of nucleating agents, encapsulation methods and so on ar… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
