Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: A comprehensive review of phase change materials (PCMs) with phase transition temperatures between 0 and 250°C is presented in this paper, with the focus on this temperature range is due to potential CO 2 emissions reduction able to be achieved replacing conventional heating and cooling applications in the domestic, commercial and public administration sectors, which represented around a quarter of the UK's final energy consumption in 2015.
