Abstract

Thermal energy storage technology is an important topic, as it enables renewable energy technology to be available 24/7 and under different weather conditions. Phase changing materials (PCM) are key players in thermal energy storage, being the most economic among those available with adjustable thermal properties. Paraffin wax (PW) is one of the best materials used in industrial processes to enhance thermal storage. However, the low thermal conductivity of PW prevents its thermal application. In this study, we successfully modified PW based on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) with different concentrations of TiO
