Paraffins are useful as phase change materials (PCMs) for thermal energy storage (TES) via their melting transition, Tmpt. Paraffins with Tmpt between 30 and 60 °C have particular utility in improving the efficiency of solar energy capture systems and for thermal buffering of electronics and batteries.

The goal of this research is to compare the thermal energy storage of the composites of graphene/paraffin and expanded graphite/paraffin for low-temperature applications and understand the role of graphene and expanded graphite in this regard. Paraffin with 5 °C phase change temperature (Pn5) was employed as the phase change material (PCM).
1. Introduction The high latent heats of phase change materials (PCMs) can greatly improve solar thermal energy storage (TES) in conventional solar energy capture systems [, , , ] and reduce energy costs by effective thermal management in the built environment [, , , , , , , ].
Six PCMs studied are suitable for solar thermal and passive cooling applications. All essential thermophysical properties and thermal stability of PCMs are measured. Paraffin PCMs are found to be stable for over 3000 thermal cycles. The chemical compatibilities of PCMs with 17 different materials are reported.
