Abstract:
Clean energy is considered one of the priorities of countries in the world, as finding alternatives to fossil fuels is one of the most difficult difficulties facing countries that are poor in these sources of energy. Therefore, these countries focus all their research on finding solutions and alternatives, as most research centers and universities focus on developing and supporting researchers and urging them to This field has been of great importance to the whole world for several decades. Researchers are working to find solutions to this problem by developing alternative energy (clean energy) such as solar energy and wind energy, benefiting from the Earth’s natural resources through solar energy, wind energy, and water, and exploiting them in this aspect. Scientists and researchers in this field have focused their research on finding modern and advanced clean methods (clean energy). Even if the high cost is the most important of these alternatives to clean energy, what is meant here is clean energy free of any carbon dioxide emissions, thermal energy and making use of materials that may be able to retain heat and preserve thermal energy for a period of time as potential energy and benefit from it. According to studies, it has been found that one of the most important materials that can be worked on in this field are phase change materials (PCMs), as this material can be used to provide energy for a period of time. The nature of this material and its phase change depending on the type of material. Some research has focused on the fact that water is one of the materials. Which changes its phase by changing its state and changing its phase. However, there are other materials that have the ability to provide energy, such as solid solid or liquidliquid. Research has developed in this field to take advantage of modern technology, as it can be used and applied in thermal conductivity through insulators or through storage. Thermal energy and its release, as in heat sinks used in electronics.
