Phase change materials (PCMs) provide as a compelling alternative for thermal energy storage. This study offers a thorough overview of recent studies on the integration of phase change materials (PCMs) in low-temperature applications, including building envelopes, passive systems in buildings, solar collectors, solar photovoltaic systems, and solar desalination systems.

The selection of the phase change material (PCM) is crucial for the construction of a latent heat storage system, alongside the heat transmission mechanism within the PCM. The literature contains extensive information on latent heat storage materials and systems. This paper aims to compile knowledge from prior research on phase change materials and latent heat storage systems. </span></span></em></p> |
