Rice husk hydrochar/paraffin composite as a phase change material for a solar-driven water desalination system
Rice husk hydrochar/paraffin composite phase change materials (PCMs) were developed to improve thermal energy storage for solar-driven desalination. Rice husk hydrochar was synthesized by hydrothermal carbonization and KOH activation, incorporated into paraffin at different loadings, and characterized using SEM, FTIR,...
