In Singapore's hot tropical climate, phase change materials (PCMs) hold significant promise for year-round passive cooling solutions in buildings. However, the narrow diurnal temperature range of 24-32 degrees C poses a great challenge for pure PCMs with poor thermal conductivity to undergo complete melting-freezing cycles. Herein, we tested two composite PCMs in a self-designed thermal box: (1) paraffin RT28HC/graphene nanoplatelets (GNP-PCMs) and (2) paraffin RT28HC/copper foam (CF-PCMs). The passive cooling performance of the composite PCMs was evaluated based on their charging power at 32 ...
