Abstract
This chapter summarizes the techniques to characterize phase change materials for thermal energy storage applications. The most relevant properties include giving the answer to physical, thermal, and technical requirements. The chapter provides characterization methods and tools that are used to characterize latent heat, melting temperature, specific heat, thermal conductivity, durability, and cyclability of the PCMs. The chapter also describes various characterization standards for different thermophysical properties of PCMs
