In this paper, diatomite-based composite phase change materials (DI-based CPCMs) were fabricated by the vacuum impregnation of capric acid (CA) into reduced graphene oxide decorated diatomite (rGO-DI). In the DI-based CPCMs, DI was used as the supporting material, which was first purified by thermal treatment and alkali treatment, to improve the adsorption capacity of the PCM, rGO was used to decorate the DI to improve the thermal conductivity of CPCMs. The rGO-DI could retain CA at the weight fraction of 60% without leakage. The maximum melting and freezing enthalpy of CA/rGO-DI-2 reached 106.2 J g −1 and 108.6 J g −1 , respectively, and its thermal conductivity was up to 0.5226 W m −1 · K, 260.4% and 81.3% higher than pure CA and CA/DI, respectively. The CPCMs have good thermal reliability and thermal stability, and there was no chemical reaction between CA and rGO-DI. The CPCMs maintained thermal properties after 200 melting–freezing cycles. Finally, the CPCMs have potential for application in solar energy storage systems.
