Tbilisi organic phase change energy storage materials

Can organic phase change materials be used in thermal energy storage?

Organic phase change materials are extensively utilized in thermal energy storage systems to integrate and manage the renewable energy. However, the tendency of organic phase change materials to leak out during the phase transition process, limits their practical applications in thermal energy storage.

What are phase change materials (PCMs) for thermal energy storage applications?

Fig. 1. Bibliometric analysis of (a) journal publications and (b) the patents, related to PCMs for thermal energy storage applications. The materials used for latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) are called Phase Change Materials (PCMs) .

Do organic phase change materials leak out during the phase transition process?

However, the tendency of organic phase change materials to leak out during the phase transition process, limits their practical applications in thermal energy storage. The shape-stabilization is an effective strategy to prevent the leakage and enhance the energy storage capacity of organic phase change materials.

Are dicarboxylic acids a phase change material for thermal energy storage?

J. Chem. Eng. Data 2015, 60, 202–212. [Google Scholar] [CrossRef] Aydin, A.A. Diesters of high-chain dicarboxylic acids with 1-tetradecanol as novel organic phase change materials for thermal energy storage.

What are organic phase change materials (o-PCMS)?

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.

What are the selection criteria for thermal energy storage applications?

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.
