Improved heat recovery from paraffin-based phase change materials due to the presence of percolating graphene networks
Author(s): Amy S. Fleischer, Ronald J. Warzoha
Four different paraffin-based nanocomposite phase change materials (PCMs) were prepared by dispersion of 20 v. % of graphene, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), aluminum, or TiO2 nanoparticles into a paraffin matrix. It was ...
