During phase change, the maximum latent heat was 173.2 J g −1. The thermal conductivity was relatively low (46.5–77.2 mW m −1); this represented 23–38 % of the thermal conductivity of pure paraffin. Therefore, foams are promising materials for efficient and reliable thermal energy storage applications.
