Geothermal energy, derived from the radioactive decay of elements within the Earth's core, is a renewable and clean energy source. The extraction of geothermal energy primarily depends on ground heat exchangers. To address the issue of incompatibility between corrosion resistance, high thermal conductivity, and mechanical performance in current ground heat exchangers, this study develops composites (PEPOE/SCA@SiC) composed of high‐density polyethylene (HDPE) modified with toughener polyethylene‐octene copolymer elastomer (POE) and silicon carbide (SiC) crystals modified with γ‐aminopropyltriethoxysilane (SCA). HDPE offers excellent corrosion resistance, SiC crystals provide efficient phonon transport, and SCA improves the interface compatibility of the composite. The thermal conductivity of PEPOE/SCA@SiC reaches 3.83 W m−1K−1, with a maximum tensile strength of 20.3 MPa, a tensile elastic modulus of up to 498 MPa, and a maximum bending stress of 22.2 MPa with a bending elastic modulus of 561 MPa. Corrosion resistance tests indicate no signs of corrosion in PEPOE/SCA@SiC when exposed to geothermal simulation fluids at 90 °C for 30 days. This study demonstrates that PEPOE/SCA@SiC composites have substantial potential for application in ground heat exchangers, offering promising prospects for advancing sustainable use of geothermal energy and environmental protection.
