Optimizing thermal properties and heat transfer in 3D biochar-embedded organic phase change materials for thermal energy storage
Phase change storage (PCM) is an active technique of thermal energy storage that uses phase change to store and release heat later. To mimic the superior absorption capability of solar radiation, which is the principal thermal energy source of electromagnetic waves, PCMs are used for energy storage.
