Are phase change materials suitable for thermal management?

With the increasing demand for thermal management, phase change materials (PCMs) have garnered widespread attention due to their unique advantages in energy storage and temperature regulation. However, traditional PCMs present challenges in modification, with commonly used physical methods facing stability and compatibility issues.

Do phase-based latent heat change materials absorb thermal energy?

Among them, the storage of thermal energy by phase-based latent heat change materials (PCMs) has attracted much attention for their ability to absorb and release large amounts of latent heat during phase transfer progress [1, 2, 3, 4].

Is polyethylene glycol-2000 a phase change material?

In this paper, polyethylene glycol-2000 (PEG) was used as a phase change material and 2-methacrylate 6- [4- (4-methoxy-phenyllazo)-phenoxy]-hexyl ester (MAHE, AZO compound) was used as molecular solar thermal (MOST) energy storage material to form composite fiber material through electrospinning.

Is phase change storage a good energy storage solution?

Therefore, compared to sensible heat storage, phase change storage offers advantages such as higher energy density, greater flexibility, and temperature stability, making it a widely promising energy storage solution.

How to prepare a composite material for solar energy storage?

In this paper, an electrospinning composite material for solar energy storage was prepared by combining 2-methyl-acrylic acid 6- [4- (4-methoxy-phenylazo)-phenoxy]-hexyl ester (MAHE) as molecular solar thermal (MOST) molecule and polyethylene glycol-2000 (PEG) as phase change material (PCM) using electrospinning technique for the first time.
