Are inorganic PCMs a good thermal energy storage system?
Although pure inorganic PCMs possesses relatively higher thermal conductivity (up to about 1 W/m-K) than the pure organic PCMs, the thermal conductivity is still unacceptably low and this is one of the main drawbacks of their applications in many thermal energy storage systems.
Are inorganic PCMs a good choice for a latent heat storage system?
One of the challenges for latent heat storage systems is the proper selection of the phase change materials (PCMs) for the targeted applications. As compared to organic PCMs, inorganic PCMs have some drawbacks, such as corrosion potential and phase separation; however, there are available techniques to overcome or minimize these drawbacks.
