In the first step, the dispersed GNPs were mixed with palmitic acid (PA) particles using an ultra-sonication method. Then, the prepared material was added to form-stable phase change materials (PA/PPy) obtained by a polymerisation technique. The amount of PA particles remained constant in the prepared form-stable phase change materials. FT-IR and SEM analyses were used to investigate the structure and surface morphology of form-stable PCMs, respectively. The thermal properties, stability and conductivity of the materials were also characterised using DSC, TGA and thermal conductivity analysis, respectively. The results indicated that GNPs had a significant effect on improving the thermal conductivity of form-stable PCMs (PA/PPy). By doping 1.6% of GNPs, the thermal conductivity and thermal capacity of PA/PPy/GNPs form-stable PCMs could reach up to 0.43 W/m K and 151 J/g, respectively. In other words, thermal conductivity increased by 34.3% in comparison with PA/PPy form-stable PCMs. The prepared PA/PPy/GNPs form-stable PCMs are anticipated to show improved performance for solar thermal energy storage applications. � 2015 Elsevier B.V.
