Thermal conductivity and latent heat thermal energy storage characteristics of paraffin/expanded graphite composite as phase change material (2007, methodology): “In addition, carbon fibers and carbon fiber brushes have been used as heat diffusion promoters in paraffin and other PCMs due to their high thermal conductivities and low weight [22,23].”
Thermal conductivity improvement of stearic acid using expanded graphite and carbon fiber for energy storage applications (2007, methodology): “These results were attributed to high thermal conductivity of the EG (4–100W/mK) and CF (190W/mK) [15,17,20–22].”
A critical review of thermal management models and solutions of lithium-ion batteries for the development of pure electric vehicles (2016, neutral): “25 W/mK for paraffin wax), many approaches towards making composite PCMs have been conducted and they include 1) embedding a metal matrix into PCM; 2) impregnating porous materials [183-187]; 3) adding high thermal conductivity substances in paraffin [188, 189]; and 4) developing latent heat thermal”
