Abstract. Thermal storage technology based on phase change material (PCM) holds significant potential for temperature regulation and energy storage application. However, solid–liquid PCMs are often limited by leakage issues during phase changes and are not sufficiently functional to meet the demands of diverse applications.
Hence, researchers introduced energy storage systems which operate during the peak energy harvesting time and deliver the stored energy during the high-demand hours. Large-scale applications such as power plants, geothermal energy units, nuclear plants, smart textiles, buildings, the food industry, and solar energy capture and …
