Abstract Due to their high latent heat stowing ability and steady thermal phase change behavior, phase change materials (PCMs) are studied for energy storage materials in the thermal management field. Pure PCMs have innately low thermal conductivity, which is improved by using different techniques, including the use of metal foams, nanoparticles, a mixture of different PCMs, encapsulation of PCM, and the finned structures. These modified PCMs are researched for various applications such as thermal control of electronic devices, thermoelectric generators (TEGs), smart textiles, heat exchangers, building thermal management and solar photovoltaic modules. It is observed that the utilization of PCMs is a promising option for performance enhancement of these applications. The utilization of PCMs have proven to overcome the decrement that was in terms of thermal and electrical effectiveness and indicated better resu
