Phase Change Materials (PCMs) store and release thermal energy during the process of melting and solidifying at specific temperatures. When integrated with nanotechnology, PCMs exhibit improved thermal conductivity, stability, and reduced phase separation. Examples include:
- Metallic nanoparticles: Enhance the thermal conductivity of organic and inorganic PCMs. - Carbon-based nanomaterials: Improve the thermal stability and reduce subcooling issues in PCMs.
