| Abstract Scope |
Most materials used today for energy storage as part of thermal management strategies utilize the latent heat associated with liquid-vapor and solid-liquid phase changes. However, some high power electronics require thermal management devices based on energy storage that are very fast, compact, and have a specified transformation temperatures which makes solid-solid phase transformations potentially the best solution. However, there is a lack of information, notably a database, that contains the necessary information including transition temperature, heats of formation and thermal conductivity, to select and design these materials for specific applications. Here, we present our initial effort into developing a database that aggregates this unique information that can be used for material selection, design, and optimization. This database is then used to identify some solid-solid phase change materials that meet the needs of energy storage and cooling for high power electronics during peak operations. |
