Biomass-derived, thermally conducting, carbon foams for seasonal thermal storage

Author(s): Alain Celzard, Antonio Pizzi, P. Jana, V. Fierro

Seasonal thermal storage based on phase change materials (PCMs) require a thermally conductive host because they typically have low thermal conductivities. In this study, tannin-based composite carbon foams were prepared ...
