Phase change materials (PCMs) are widely applied in recent decades due to their good thermal performance in energy systems. Their applications are mainly limited by the phase change temperature and latent heat. Many publications are reported around the characteristic improvement of binary organic PCMs. The thermal stability study on organic binary PCMs used in thermal energy storage applications becomes fundamental and meaningful. In this study, thermal stability of three types of organic binary PCMs was experimentally investigated, which are frequently used in building and industry applications. To qualitatively investigate the stability of composite PCMs, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) spectra testing of samples were also conducted. Experimental results showed that the selected composite PCMs, capric acid (CA), and myristic acid (MA), had the best thermal performances, with its phase change temperature unchanged and heat of fusion decreased only 8.88 J/g, or 4.55%, after 2000 thermal cycles. Furthermore, quality ratio of required PCMs as the variation of operation duration was analyzed to quantitatively prepare the materials. The PCMs can successfully operate about 3125 times when prepared as 1.20 times of its calculated value by starting fusion heat. Conclusions of this research work can also be used for guiding the selection and preparation of other energy storage materials.

Solid-solid phase change material can increase the thermal storage capacity of the wall, decrease the indoor temperature fluctuation and building energy consumption when it was used in the phase change material (PCM) wall. This paper investigated experimentally the phase change temperature and latent heat of polyalcohols binary system with different component, and analyzed the feasibility of phase change wall. The results show that binary systems have suitable phase change temperature and bigger phase change latent. They are ideal phase change materials used in the wall.

Shape-stabilized phase change material (PCM) composed of polyethylene glycol and silica hollow nanospheres was prepared by a vacuum impregnating method. Thermal properties of the composite PCM were investigated by various techniques. Lower phase change temperature and enthalpy of the composite PCM were observed. It is concluded that the phase change properties of the composite PCM are influenced by the adsorption confinement of the PEG segments from the porous structure of the silica hollow nanospheres.

Carbon nanotubes grafted with stearyl alcohol (CNTs-SA) was used to enhance the thermal conductivities of the microcapsules. Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) and thermogravimetry (TG) analysis method are employed to measure thermal properties of the prepared MicroPCM containing the grafted CNTs (MicroPCM/CNTs-SA). The results indicated the phase change temperature and latent heat of MicroPCM/CNTs-SA was 26.2°C and 47.7J/g. An increase in thermal conductivity, thermal stability of MicroPCM/CNTs-SA was observed. After 100 heating and cooling cycles, MicroPCM/CNTs-SA still had better durability and thermal stability.

Thermal stabilization exploiting phase change materials (PCMs) is studied theoretically and numerically. Using the heat source approach in numerical simulations, we focus on phase change temperature as a key factor in improving thermal stabilization. Our focus is to analyze possible mechanisms to tune the phase change temperature. We use thermotropic liquid crystals (LCs) as PCMs in a demonstrative system. Using the Landau-de Gennes mesoscopic approach, we show that an external electric field or appropriate nanoparticles (NPs) dispersed in LCs can be exploited to manipulate the phase change temperature.
