Abstract
The majority of the reported research studies focus mainly on the thermal characterization of PCMs nanocomposites, however there is scarce information about the mechanisms explaining why/how the thermal properties are enhanced. This review outlines the results of the thermal conductivity and the latent heat capacity of PCMs/CNs nanocomposites, trying to identify the features that lead to the improvement of their thermal properties.
