Summary: Coaxial fiber membranes (CFMs) with poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) encapsulated by biobased poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) were prepared and their thermal management capacity was investigated. The CFMs showed excellent thermal management capability, with remarkable thermal stability and energy storage observed in CFMs with PEO content of 49 wt %. The insulation efficiency of CFMs could be improved by more than 21% compared to pure PLLA membranes. The heating curves of CFMs were well described by a Fourier equation corrected by the melting enthalpy of PEO, indicating the primary and secondary effects from PEO melting and reduced thermal conductivity of PLLA.

Summary: This review provides an up-to-date and comprehensive overview of the use of additives in Phase Change Materials (PCMs). It covers both experimental and theoretical perspectives. The traditional focus has been on short-term thermal energy storage applications, where additives have been extensively studied to enhance the unsatisfactory thermo-physical properties of PCMs. In this review, the emphasis is on the most important PCMs for long-term thermal energy storage. The role played by additives and additivation protocols on the thermo-physical and stability properties of PCMs is discussed. The use of additives in sugar alcohols, sodium acetate trihydrate, and emerging PCMs capable of solid-to-solid transitions is specifically highlighted. The review also identifies outstanding issues and aims to contribute to the understanding and application of less mature PCMs for long-term thermal energy storage.
