Overview

Randomized trial shows multifunctional composite phase-change materials enhancing thermal and electromagnetic performance, implying advancements in electronics and energy systems.

Key Points

  • The aim is to develop multifunctional composite phase-change materials that integrate thermal and electromagnetic functionalities.
  • Fabricated via electrostatic self-assembly of a reduced graphene oxide/NiC aerogel network, followed by vacuum impregnation of paraffin wax.
  • Optimized the composite to achieve high melting enthalpy and thermal conductivity measurements.
  • Achieved a melting enthalpy of 203.9 J·g-1 with cycling stability.
  • Enhanced thermal conductivity to 0.3804 W·m-1·K-1, a 242% improvement over pure paraffin.
  • Achieved a solar-thermal conversion efficiency of 95.08% and a minimum reflection loss of -55.39 dB at 12.89 GHz.
