Visual Analysis of Research Hotspots of Phase Change Energy Storage Materials Based on CiteSpace
[Purposes]This paper aims to analyze the research trends,research directions,and content of phase change energy storage materials in China.[Methods]Using CiteSpace software,400 core journal articles published in CNKI from 1996 to 2022 were analyzed and studied.[Findings]The research shows that the publication volume shows a trend of gradual increase.Since 2014,the research on phase change energy storage materials has experienced rapid growth,indicating that the research on phase change energy storage materials has become a hot topic in China.The research literature is mainly di-vided into 8 clusters,namely 0#phase change material,1#paraffin,2#phase change,3#phase separa-tion,4#fatty acid,5#application,6#phase change energy storage,and 7#heat storage.[Conclusions]This paper visually presents the research status and hotspots of phase change energy storage materials,and summarizes the research content,providing a reference direction for the relevant scientific research of phase change energy storage materials.
