Synthesis and Characterization of Paraffin/Metal Organic Gel Derived Porous Carbon/Boron Nitride Composite Phase Change Materials for Thermal Energy Storage

“…Although the composite can exhibit shape‐stabilized performance, the thermal conductivity improvement as well as PCM loading capacity is still a challenge. Consequently, introducing PCM into high thermal conductive matrixes including metal oxides, graphene aerogel, carbon nanotube (CNT), expanded vermiculite, metal nanoparticles graphite foam, EG have been reported to improve the thermal conductivity of composite PCMs. For example, with increased functionalized multi‐walled carbon nanotubes content, the thermal conductivity of paraffin/f‐MWCNTs composite PCMs showed significant improvement up to 0.53 W/mK without leakage .…”
