Overview

Review reveals advancements in phase change nanoemulsions for thermal energy systems, highlighting preparation techniques and performance hurdles like supercooling.

Key Points

  • To review recent progress in the synthesis, characterization, and application of phase change nanoemulsions for thermal energy storage and fluid transport.
  • Synthesized literature on the classification, preparation techniques, and material characterization of phase-changeable nanostructured fluids.
  • Evaluated thermophysical properties and functional integration across various thermal and renewable energy flow systems.
  • Phase change nanoemulsions exhibit higher latent heat storage capacity, enhanced heat transfer performance, and reduced pumping power requirements compared to conventional sensible heat fluids.
  • Commercial and practical implementations are primarily impeded by emulsion instability over time and high degrees of supercooling during phase transitions.
