Thermal energy storage for low and medium temperature applications using phase change materials – A review

Jose Pereira da Cunha and Philip Eames

Applied Energy, 2016, vol. 177, issue C, 227-238

Abstract: A comprehensive review of phase change materials (PCMs) with phase transition temperatures between 0 and 250°C is presented. From that review, organic compounds and salt hydrates seem more promising below 100°C and eutectic mixtures from 100 to 250°C.
