相变浆料（PCS）由于具有理想的热物理性质而具有作为用于冷却过程、冷能存储和冷能输送的传热流体和能量存储介质的巨大潜力。与纯相变材料相比，PCS的主要优点之一是它们的流动性，从而使它们通过热交换器冷却或加热，通过管道泵送，排出并直接储存在热能储存罐中。因此，使用封装相变浆料和气体水合物浆料引起了相当大的兴趣，如文献中所反映的，涉及该领域的出版物和机构的数量不断增加。文献计量学技术的使用发现了最近的兴趣，在文献中定义不同的科学主题的进展，并激励研究人员识别新奇。在本文中，文献计量学分析和详细的系统性审查进行了显示国家的最先进的发展的PCS冷却应用。确定研究差距和热点，以帮助确定未来对这一主题的看法。
Phase change slurries (PCSs) have great potential as both a heat transfer fluid and an energy storage medium for cooling processes, cold energy storage, and cold energy transportation due to desirable thermophysical properties. One of the major benefits of PCSs compared to pure phase change materials is their fluidity, thus making them cooled or heated by a heat exchanger, pumped through pipes, discharged, and stored directly in a thermal energy storage tank. The use of encapsulated phase change slurries and gas hydrate slurry has thus attracted considerable interest as reflected in the literature with a rising number of publications and institutions involved in the area. The use of bibliometric techniques has found a recent interest in the literature to define the progress of different scientific topics and inspire researchers to identify novelties. In this paper, bibliometric analysis and a detailed systematic review are carried out to show the state-of-the-art development of PCSs for cooling applications. Research gaps and hotspots are identified to help define future perspectives on this topic.
