A Review of Composite Phase Change Materials Based on Porous Silica Nanomaterials for Latent Heat Storage Applications

Phase change materials (PCMs) can store thermal energy as latent heat through phase transitions. PCMs using the solid-liquid phase transition offer high 100–300 J g<sup>−1</sup> enthalpy at constant temperature. However, pure compounds suffer from leakage, incongruent melting and crystal...
