Performance enhancement of form stable phase change materials: a review of carbon nanomaterial-based strategies.

Carbon nanomaterial-based form stable phase change materials (FSPCM) offer significant potential as energy storage materials. However, the timely review respectively summarizing the evolution of each carbon nanomaterial and their differences is still lacking. Herein, a comprehensive and systematic approach to gathering, analyzing, and synthesizing relevant literature is employed to conduct this review paper. Specifically, this review provides an extensive examination of PCM encapsulation techniques employing carbon nanomaterial-based materials, discussing their underlying mechanisms and strategies for improving thermal performance. Additionally, it explores the practical applications of carbon nanomaterial-based FSPCMs and discusses future avenues for research and development in this field. By focusing on advancing encapsulation techniques, improving performance, and expanding application possibities, this review aims to contribute to the ongoing progress in the field of carbon nanomaterial-based FSPCMs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
