Study on thermal storage properties of hybrid nanocomposite-dibasic ester as phase change material

- Silver-titania hybrid nanocomposite PCM (HiNPCM) exhibited good thermal properties.
- Comparison with correlations justified thermal conductivity improvement by 58.4%.
- Heat storage and release rate of HiNPCM enhanced by 20.5% and 21.4%, respectively.
- HiNPCM yielded 30% freezing time reduction with high latent heat potential.
- Increased PCM suspension viscosity expose possible liaison with thermal properties.
