Phase change materials (PCMs) have been envisioned for thermal energy storage (TES) and management applications (TMAs), such as supplemental cooling air-cooled condensers in power plants (to obviate water usage), electronics reduce the environmental footprint of data centers), buildings. In recent reports, machine learning (ML) techniques deployed to improve sustainability, performance, resilience, robustness, reliability TES platforms that use PCMs by leveraging Cold Finger Technique (CFT) avoid supercooling (since can degrade effectiveness TES). Recent studies shown be enhanced using additives, nucleators gelling agents, including organic (paraffin wax) inorganic (e.g., salt hydrates eutectics) PCMs. Additionally, material compatibility with different metals alloys also garnered significant attention. Long-term demonstrating stability candidate will summarized this review book chapter.
