Thermal energy storage (TES) is increasingly important due to the demand-supply challenge caused by the intermittency of renewable energy and waste heat dissipation to the environment. This paper discusses the fundamentals and novel applications of TES materials and identifies appropriate TES materials for particular applications.

Through these means, their ability to handle latent and sensible heat storage process in a porous medium is demonstrated. To sum up, to be more complete, perspectives of sensible and latent energy storage technologies are covered. 1. Introduction.

PCMs also enable a target-oriented discharging temperature that is set by the constant temperature of the phase change. Thermo-chemical storage (TCS) can of er even higher storage capacities.
Sensible heat storage (SHS) involves storing thermal energy by raising the temperature of a solid or liquid. The principle is based on the material’s change of heat capacity and temperature during the process of charging and discharging.
Unlike the sensible heat storage method, the latent heat storage method provides much higher storage density, with a smaller temperature difference between storing and releasing heat. Every material absorbs heat during heating process while its temperature is rising constantly.
The key advantages and limitations of sensible heat storage are as follows [68–71]: At a constant temperature, energy cannot be stored or released. The heat storage and release process are more efficient since it does not convert a solid or crystalline structure into a liquid. Easy to load and unload. Insulation can be done quickly.
