Abstract:In recent years, there has been significant progress in the development and application of phase change materials (PCMs) for thermal energy storage. The new lauric acid (LA)/polyvinyl butyral (PVB)/graphene nanoplates (GNP) composite phase change materials (CPCM) are prepared using the solution blending method, in which LA acts as PCM, PVB serves as support material, and GNP is used as thermally conductive enhancer. The prepared CPCM with 80 wt% LA can retain stable shape without leakage. The Fourier‐transform… Show more
