Photothermal properties and photothermal conversion performance of nano-enhanced paraffin as a phase change thermal energy storage material

Ruitong Yang et al.

Summary: The addition of nanoparticles decreases the transmittance of nano-enhanced paraffin while a small rise in transmittance occurs with temperature increment. ZnO and CuO nanoparticles can improve the thermal conductivity of nano-enhanced paraffin. CuO/paraffin can absorb more solar energy, and the optimal photothermal performance can be achieved by adjusting the nanoparticle volume fraction.
