Abstract: This work aimed to explore the modification effects of graphene quantum dots (GQDs) and aluminum nanopowders on thermal properties and physical stability of microencapsulated phase change materials (MPCM). We used paraffin as core and urea-melamine-formaldehyde polymer as shell to synthesize three samples of MPCM, i.e. blank sample with no GQDs & aluminum nanopowders, MPCM incorporated with 1.5wt% GQDs, MPCM incorporated with 1.5wt% GQDs and 7wt% nano-aluminum, via an in-situ polymerization. The fabricated MPCM samples were characterized by means of SEM, particle size analyzer, hot disk sensor, DSC, etc. with respect to morphology, particle size distribution, thermal conductivity, thermophysical properties and suspension stability. The results showed that the modified MPCMs all exhibited satisfactory spherical shape, and the introduction of GQDs was conducive to a better particle size distribution. The MPCM sample incorporated with both GQDs and aluminum nanopowders was determined to have a superior thermal conductivity (0.78 W/(m·K)) in excess of 254.55% compared to the ordinary MPCM sample, and a higher encapsulation rate (92.65%). Meanwhile, the corresponding suspension can remain unstratified for 48 h.
