Successful development of graphene-based composite phase change materials

Recently, researchers from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a graphene-based composite phase change material with high light-to-heat conversion efficiency through a synthesis strategy

The composite phase change material has excellent phase change performance and photothermal conversion ability, and provides a new idea for large-scale preparation of graphene-based photothermal conversion composite phase change materials

Graphene-based composite phase change materials can solve the leakage problem in the phase change process of phase change materials, and have excellent light absorption capabilities, and have potential in the field of solar thermal conversion and storage

Based on this, the researchers used a simple and direct one-step strategy to fill the polyethylene glycol phase change material into the graphene oxide network structure hydrogel in situ to construct a graphene-based stereotyped composite phase change material
