Abstract

Organic phase change materials (PCMs) with characteristics of high thermal storage density, non-corrosive, chemically stable, non-toxic, no phase segregation, and no or little supercooling, became one of the mainstream application materials in the field of energy storage technology. The material properties of organic PCMs were introduced in this paper. In view of the existing problems of organic PCMs low thermal conductivity, the latest research results of enhance the thermal conductivity of organic PSMs by incorporating high thermal conductivity additives and encapsulating PCMs technology were recommended. The application of the organic PCMs in low-temperature energy storage technology such as building energy saving, solar energy utilization and cooling electronic equipment was discussed. Finally, some research problems and development rends of the organic PCMs were summarized.

Key words： thermal energy storage; phase change materials; organic; heat transfer enhancement
