Abstract: The growing global energy demand has led to research into effective energy storage technologies such as Thermal Energy Storage (TES) and Phase Change Materials (PCMs). This study explores the use of Nano-Enhanced Phase Change Materials (NEPCMs) to enhance thermal conductivity and overall performance. Results show that nanoparticle inclusion significantly improves thermal conductivity and energy distribution, especially at higher temperature differences. Future research should focus on the long-term stability and effects of different nanoparticle types and concentrations in energy storage systems. Keywords: Heat transfer; Nano-Enhanced Phase Change Materials; Nanoparticle; Phase change materials; Solar thermal energy storage; Thermal energy storage.
