Paraffin wax (PW) is an energy storage phase change material (PCM) with high energy storage capacity and low cost. However, the feasibility of its application in solar thermal storage has been limited by leakiness during solid-liquid phase conversion, low thermal conductivity, single heat capture mode and low energy conversion rate.

Thermal energy storage was enhanced by using paraffin wax as a PCM, but further enhancement was not significant in the case of the nanocomposite PCM []. In this work, PCM has been chosen with a fairly high solid–liquid transition temperature (80°C) to promote the stabilization of the heat demands at temperatures of <70°C.
