 abstract={Organic phase change materials (PCMs), which are typically used as the accumulating material in latent heat thermal energy storage, provide chemical and thermal stability, but have low thermal conductivity. This limits heat transfer rates and prolongs storage charging/discharging time. A method to improve the thermal conductivity of organic PCMs is to add nanomaterials with high thermal conductivity. The paper presents the research on the effect of the addition of graphene nanoparticles (GNPs) on the thermal conductivity of organic PCM (RT28 HC), and its energy storage properties. The transient hot wire and the pipe Poensgen apparatus methods were used to measure thermal conductivity, and the differential scanning calorimetry method was used to determine the heat capacity and phase change temperature. The achieved characteristics of thermal conductivity depending on the amount of added graphene nanoparticles (and stabilizer) indicate that GNPs allow to increase the thermal conductivity on average by 26–87% in the solid state and by 7–28% in the liquid, but this reduces the PCM heat capacity. Therefore, the paper indicates what mass fraction of dopants is optimal to achieve the greatest improvement in thermal conductivity of RT28 HC and its smallest reduction in heat capacity, to use this nano-enhanced PCM in practice.},
