Implication

Randomized trial evaluates enhanced thermal energy storage in phase change materials, indicating improved efficiency and stability.

Key Points

  • This research aims to enhance the thermal energy storage capabilities of phase change materials through innovative aerogel encapsulation.
  • Fabricated a multi-scale graphene/silver nanowire aerogel via directional freezing for PCM encapsulation.
  • Conducted finite element analysis to study the impact of aerogel microstructure on thermal dynamics.
  • Measured thermal conductivity and melting enthalpy of the composite PCM.
  • Achieved thermal conductivity of 1.78 W·m–1·K–1, a 514% increase over pure polyethylene glycol.
  • Demonstrated 150.9 J·g–1 melting enthalpy and excellent shape stability.
  • Reduced energy storage time by approximately 60% compared to unoptimized CPCM.
