The combination of wood and phase change energy storage materials (PCMs) can improve the phase change latent heat and temperature adjustment time of wood [[7], [8], [9]]. According to the form of heat storage, PCMs can usually be divided into solid-solid, solid-liquid, liquid-gas and solid-gas type, etc. [10,11].

Latent thermal energy storage using phase change materials (PCMs) could provide a solution to that problem. PCMs can store large amounts of energy in small volumes, however, the main issue is the low conductivity of PCMs, which limits the rate that energy can be stored due to the slow melting and solidification processes.
