Engineering biochar with multiwalled carbon nanotube for efficient phase change material encapsulation and thermal energy storage

Cross‐linked tannase‐carbon nanotubes composite in elevating antioxidative potential of green tea extract

“…The observation of an additional band at 1,174.5 cm −1 indicating the aliphatic amines (C-N) further substantiate the compositing of tannase on the MWCNT (Jun et al, 2019). The characteristic signal peak is recorded at 1551.3 cm −1 associated with the C = C stretching of the MWCNT aromatic graphitic carbon ring, alluding to the fact that the MWCNT retains its original structure even after tannase compositing (Atinafu et al, 2021).…”

Fabrication of Organic Shape-stabilized Phase Change Material and Its Energy Storage Applications

“…The biomass always consists of special structures like pores, conduit and cavity which could provide not o nly sp ace to abso rb PCM, bu t a lso sites for modification. [79] In addition, biomass is an eco-friendly Atinafu et al [80] developed a multiwalled carbon nanotube/n-dodecane SSPCM with a one-step hydrothermal method, the SSPCM achieved a 83.2% PCM loading and latent heat 152.3 J/g. The SSPCM simultaneously could hold the PCM and stabilize the shape steadily.…”

Phase-Change Materials and Biochar: Some New Composite Materials in Recent Literature

“…However, biochar is an environmentally friendly material. In [10], a composite material is studied, obtained by means of biochar derived from bamboo, multiwalled carbon nanotubes and liquid n-dodecane for a new energy storage material. "The hybrid material provides favorable morphological and interconnected framework structures for PCM encapsulation and energy storage capacity in the composite PCMs.…”

“…"The obtained composite PCMs exhibited outstanding shape and thermal stabilities and chemical compatibilities". The synthesis strategy proposed in [10] "is expected to create a platform for fabricating biochar-based multifunctional PCMs for desired applications".…”
