Abstract

Graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) with few layers were prepared via expanded graphite derived from exfoliation and, then solution-phase exfoliation. GNPs consist of 7–12 distinguishable graphene layers and possess lateral sizes in the range of 2–6 μ. An attempt was made to exploit the thermal properties of GNP as filler to ameliorate thermo physical properties of xylitol. Such ultrathin 2-D structured GNP could able to increase thermal conductivity by 38% with the addition of low concentration associated with a reasonable enthalpy of fusion. Phase change materials find application in a medium temperature range such as thermal energy storage of solar energy, direct contact heat storage in heat exchangers, thermal energy storage in spacecraft systems, cooling of engines and compact electronic appliances.
