Abstract
A review of current experimental studies on variations in thermophysical properties of phase change material (PCM) due to dispersion of highly-conductive nanoparticles , coined as nanoparticle-enhanced PCMs (NePCMs), is presented in this article. The NePCMs may be considered as a solution to improve latent heat thermal energy storage performance. Thermophysical properties such as thermal conductivity, latent heat, viscosity and super cooling of PCMs could be changed for different physical properties of dispersed nanoparticle such as size, shape, concentration and surface properties. The present review focuses on the studies that describe the effect of addition of nanoparticles on the thermophysical properties of PCM with the help of available explanations in the literature.
