Abstract
Thermal energy storage in general, and phase change materials (PCMs) in particular, have been a main
topic in research for the last 20 years, but although the information is quantitatively enormous, it is also
spread widely in the literature, and difficult to find. In this work, a review has been carried out of the history
of thermal energy storage with solid–liquid phase change. Three aspects have been the focus of this review:
materials, heat transfer and applications. The paper contains listed over 150 materials used in research as
PCMs, and about 45 commercially available PCMs. The paper lists over 230 references.
