What are the challenges in developing nano-enhanced PCMs?
Despite their advantages, developing nano-enhanced PCMs comes with certain challenges:
Cost: The production of nanoparticles and their incorporation into PCMs can be expensive, which may limit widespread adoption. Compatibility: Ensuring that nanoparticles are compatible with the PCM matrix without agglomeration or phase separation can be challenging. Environmental and Health Concerns: The potential toxicity and environmental impact of nanoparticles need to be thoroughly assessed to ensure safe usage.
