Abstract

Among all of organic phase change materials(PCM),paraffin has been widely concerned due to its superior properties.However,the lower thermal conductivity and the poor heat storage/release characteristics are also huge bottlenecks restricting its development and application.Carbon-based materials are often used as heat conduction additives to enhance the thermal performance of PCM owing to their high thermal conductivity.The effects of carbon-based materials of different dimensions on the heat transfer and heat storage properties of the PCM were reviewed,and summarized the disadvantages of their thermal properties in the research progress.The way forward of the research on the thermal properties of the PCM was pointed out.
