Role of phase change materials in thermal energy storage:
PCMs simultaneously change the phase from solid to liquid (energy absorbing) and liquid to solid (energy releasing). Therefore, a PCM should be thermally stable even after few cycles of operation. However, some researchers [23], [96], [113], [211] reported that most of the PCMs are thermally not stable after few cycles of operation.
