What are the Properties of Phase Change Nanomaterials?
The properties of phase change nanomaterials are influenced by their nanoscale dimensions. Key properties include:
- High Latent Heat: They can store and release large amounts of energy. - Thermal Conductivity: Enhanced at the nanoscale, aiding in efficient heat transfer. - Stability: High stability during repeated phase transitions. - Surface Area: Increased surface area leads to faster phase transitions. - Tunability: Their properties can be finely adjusted by altering their size, shape, and composition.
