Experimental investigation of tailoring functionalized carbon-based nano additives infused phase change material for enhanced thermal energy storage

The advancement of phase change materials (PCMs) as potential thermal energy storage (TES) materials for building envelopes holds promise for efficient energy utilization. However, the PCMs have a major drawback during energy storage, which is lower thermal conductivity, leading to inadequate heat t...
