The use of graphene aerogel has recently been studied with highly functional phase change materials (PCMs) to create 3D structures for improved thermal conductivity and shape-stabilization. In this study, hybrid graphene aerogels (HGA) comprising graphene oxide (GO) and graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) were prepared. Thermal conductivity ...
This paper focuses on the creation of a new composite phase change material, paraffin-silica (SiO2)/graphene oxide (GO) through a two step process for potential use as a heat transfer fluid in direct absorption solar collectors. The resulting composite is composed of spherical capsules, and ...
