This paper mainly concentrates on the shape stability and thermal conductivity of palmitic acid (PA)/graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) composite phase change material (PCM). The impregnation method was done to prepare shape stabilized PCM with GNPs for three different specific surface areas of 300, 500...
