Abstract

OBJECTIVES:
1. Introduce shape-stabilized phase change materials (SSPCMs)
2. Evaluate the limitations of conventional PCMs
3. Explore mechanisms of shape stabilization
4. Assess advantages of SSPCMs over conventional PCMs
5. Highlight SSPCMs' thermal properties and performance

This comprehensive analysis explores the fundamental aspects, development mechanisms, and advantageous properties of shape-stabilized phase change materials (SSPCMs) in thermal energy storage applications. The following investigation examines how these innovative materials effectively overcome the limitations of conventional phase change materials (PCMs) while enhancing thermal efficiency and operational reliability across diverse applications.
