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.

Form-stable phase change materials (PCMs) have garnered tremendous attention in thermal energy storage (TES) owing to their remarkable latent heat. However, the integration of intelligent manufacturing, recycling, and optimized multifunction is considered not feasible for form-stable PCMs due to the restriction of encapsulation technology.

A common approach to thermal storage is to use what is known as a phase change material (PCM), where input heat melts the material and its phase change — from solid to liquid — stores energy. When the PCM is cooled back down below its melting point, it turns back into a solid, at which point the stored energy is released as heat.

PCM can store energy more efficiently, releasing it when demand is high. This efficiency is vital for commercial settings such as multifamily housing, universities, and hospitals, where there is a constant and high demand for hot water. PCM’s ability to provide energy on demand means less strain on the heat pump and lower overall operating costs.

Generally, heat energy storage capacity of PCM-based LHS system expressed as (1) Q = ∫ T i T m mC p dT + ma m Δ h m + ∫ T m T f mC p dT where the symbol m, C p, T, am and Δhm corresponds to the storage material mass (kg), specific heat capacity (kJ/kg K), temperature (K), fraction of melted material and latent heat of fusion (kJ/kg).

Batteries consist of two electrical terminals called the cathode and the anode, separated by a chemical material called an electrolyte. To accept and release energy, a battery is coupled to an external circuit. Electrons move through the circuit, while simultaneously ions (atoms or molecules with an electric charge) move through the electrolyte.
