      abstract = {This book provides information on thermal energy storage  systems incorporating phase change materials (PCMs) which  are widely preferred owing to their immense energy storage  capacity. The thermal energy storage (TES) potential of  PCMs has been deeply explored for a wide range of  applications, including solar/electrothermal energy  storage, waste heat storage, and utilization, building  energy-saving, and thermal regulations. The inherent  shortcomings like leakage during phase transition and poor  thermal conductivity hamper their extensive usage.  Nevertheless, it has been addressed by their shape  stabilization with porous materials and dispersing highly  conductive nanoparticles. Nanoparticles suspended in  traditional phase change materials enhance the thermal  conductivity. The addition of these nanoparticles to the  conventional PCM enhances the storage. In this book, the  history of Nano Enhanced Phase Change Materials (NEPCM),  preparation techniques, properties, theoretical modeling  and correlations, and the effect of all these factors on  the potential applications such as: solar energy,  electronics cooling, heat exchangers, building, battery  thermal management, thermal energy storage are discussed in  detail. Future challenges and future work scope have been  included. The information from this book can enable the  readers to come up with novel techniques, resolve existing  research limitations, and come up with novel NEPCM, that  can be implemented for various applications.},
