What are the Challenges in Using Phase Change Nanomaterials?
Despite their potential, there are several challenges:
- Material Compatibility: Ensuring that phase change nanomaterials are compatible with other materials in a system can be difficult. - Long-Term Stability: Maintaining performance over multiple phase transitions requires materials that do not degrade over time. - Cost: The production and integration of these materials can be expensive. - Efficiency: Maximizing energy storage and release efficiency while minimizing losses.
