Low Temperature Phase-change Materials for Thermal Energy Storage and Their Application

Human being has a growing demand for energy, but the problem of low energy efficiency isn't still solved. Phase change materials (PCMs) for thermal energy storage can play an important role in appropriate utilization of energy, technology upgrading in various industries, promoting quality of human life. In this paper, phase change materials were classified, and energy storage mechanisms, characteristics, advantages and disadvantages of various phase change materials were introduced. According to the application examples, their four functions were summarized as follows: energy distribution, temperature control,energy absorption and memory storage. At last, some suggestions about research on phase change materials and its development direction were put forward.
