Thermal energy harvesting of highly conductive graphene-enhanced paraffin phase change material

Solar energy is the most plentiful renewable energy source that has the capability to keep up with the growing demand. When the sun’s energy is not available, thermal energy storage (TES) using phase change material (PCM) is a promising technique for storage and utilization. However, PCM’s low therm...
