Latent heat storage (LHS) leverages phase changes in materials like paraffins and salts for energy storage, used in heating, cooling, and power generation. It relies on the absorption and release of heat during phase change, the efficiency of which is determined by factors like storage material and temperature [ 102 ].
Particularly, the phase change material (PCM) draws more attention than other thermal energy storage systems in the past few decades [88]. Based on phase change state, phase change materials (PCMs) can be classified into solid–solid, solid–liquid and liquid–gas types [ [88], [89], [90] ].
