Abstract
The development of secure, sustainable, affordable energy is a prime challenge for the worldwide power sector. Upgradation of energy efficiency and acceptance of renewable energy sources are practical approaches to address environmental issues. The isothermal functioning of the storage process and peak-energy storage density are favorable characteristics of phase change materials. An effort has been made in this review paper to compile the ongoing R and D work integrating C-PCMs in solar thermal energy storage systems. Not all predefined properties required for a perfect thermal-storage system can be discovered in an individual material. The inferior properties of available PCMs can be improved by correcting system arrangement or blending additives. The desirable characteristics of PCMs essentially thermophysical, chemical, kinetic, economics, safety, availability, etc. are important selection parameters for a specific energy storage application. This work explores the recent status of experiment work about the fabrication, characterization procedures of C-PCMs. The experimentation preferred for fabrication of C-PCMs by adopting metal foam techniques and carbon materials are summarized categorically.
