A novel form-stable phase change material (FSPCM) with remarkable improvement in thermal properties was fabricated by incorporating ternary fatty acid eutectics with graphene sheetconnected electrospun carbon nanofibers (GCNFs). The GCNFs possessed three-dimensional (3D) porous architecture and large specific surface area while provided mechanical support for FSPCM and effectively prevented flow/leakage of molten fatty acid. The GCNF based FSPCM exhibited desire structural morphology with lauric-myristic-stearic acid (LA-MA-SA) eutectic mixture being well dispersed in a 3D porous architecture. This novel FSPCM demonstrated superior thermal storage/retrieval capability and temperature regulation ability as well as good shape stability and thermal cycling stability. The melting and crystallization enthalpies of the fabricated FSPCMs were up to 120.4 and 120.1 kJ/kg, respectively. The thermal conductivity of the fabricated FSPCMs was 337% and 188% higher than that of LA-MA-SA eutectic mixture and a control sample without graphene, respectively, which ranked the top among the literature about LA-MA-SA eutectic mixture derived composite FSPCMs. Furthermore, the heating/cooling efficiency of the prepared FSPCMs was 45.7/64.9% higher than that of LA-MA-SA eutectic mixture.

A novel form-stable phase-change material (PCM) based on facing bricks was developed by incorporating thermoregulating PEG-SiO2, synthetized by sol-gel method and based on polyethylene glycol as phase-change material and silica as stabilizer compound. The PEG-SiO2 in its liquid form (sol) is firstly adsorbed inside the porous brick and lastly stabilized (gel) by controlling its gelation time, obtaining form-stable PCMs with PEG-SiO2 contents within 15–110 wt.%. Kinetic adsorption curves of the sol into bricks having different porosities as well as maximum adsorption capacities were obtained. The effective diffusion coefficients (Deff) were estimated by means of Fick’s second law, it being possible to predict the adsorption of sol PEG-SiO2 by the brick as function of its porosity and the free diffusion coefficient. Finally, form-stable PCMs demonstrated an improvement in their thermal energy storage capacity (up to 338%), these materials being capable of buffering the indoor temperature during an entire operational day

As a new performance-enhancing additive, PEG/MMO PCM is expected to be effective in regulating extreme temperature and resisting UV aging of bitumen binder and thus could significantly extend the service life of bitumen pavement.
