Stability and Thermophysical Properties of Silicon Carbide and Carbon Nanofibers Thermal Oil Hybrid Nanofluids

Hybrid Nanofluids (HNFs) have been widely investigated to improve the thermal efficiency of energy systems, thereby reducing overall energy consumption. Silicon Carbide (SiC) nanoparticles offer excellent thermal stability, and Carbon Nanofibers (CNF) provide superior phonon-mediated thermal conduction. However, their...

Mortar composites incorporating VO2/MWCNT solid–solid nanophase change material for passive indoor temperature regulation

Phase change materials (PCMs) have emerged as promising materials for improving the thermal performance of building envelopes. In this study, a solid–solid nanophase change material (nanoPCM) composed of vanadium dioxide (VO 2 ) and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) was synthesized and incorporated into cement...

Structurally Tunable High‐Thermal‐Conductivity Silicon Carbide Composites for Thermal Energy Storage

In this study, silicon carbide foam ceramics (SFCs) were fabricated by a foaming method and subsequently infiltrated with molten NaCl to obtain SFC/NaCl composites. Adjusting the slurry solid content and foaming agent addition effectively tuned the pore structure and composite properties. A continuous, relatively dense...
