Perspective on phase change composites in high-efficiency solar-thermal energy storage

Applied Physics Letters, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 126(5)

Опубликована: Фев. 3, 2025

To clarify future research directions, this study first analyzes the heat transfer process of solar-thermal conversion and then reviews phase change composites for high-efficiency harnessing solar energy. The focus is on enhancing absorption conduction while aiming to suppress reflection, radiation, convection. Most advancements have concentrated improving thermal conductivity, reducing aforementioned unfavorable processes remains less explored. In current research, best results show that efficiency has approached theoretical limit (100%), a typical conductivity reached 33.5 W/(m·K). However, further enhancement challenge, highlighting need structural modifications grafting. Other factors hindering received limited attention warrant in-depth investigation, with potential reduce reliance fossil fuels contribute environmental sustainability.

Опубликована: Март 18, 2025

ABSTRACT Flexible phase change composites (FPCCs) have garnered significant attention for their ability to combine high latent heat capacity with mechanical flexibility. This combination enables advanced thermal management in emerging fields such as flexible electronics, soft robotics, and wearable technologies. Traditional materials (PCMs) excel energy absorption release. However, rigidity limits applicability the sectors above. Existing reviews largely focus on encapsulation methods traditional PCM applications, leaving a gap literature concerning flexibility enhancement strategies FPCC‐specific applications. review seeks address this by presenting comprehensive timeline of FPCC development, elucidating principles capacity, systematically reviewing recent advancements field. Emphasis is placed design at both structural level, fiber foam configurations, including physical blending molecular engineering. Performance comparisons are provided, evaluating FPCCs terms storage Furthermore, explores diverse applications storage, transfer, conversion, release, underscoring potential cutting‐edge sectors. By highlighting FPCCs' versatility interdisciplinary aims inspire further research integration into domains requiring solutions.
