Utilizing phase change materials (PCMs), which can be tailored to melt or solidify at specific temperatures, as an energy storage medium provides effective way store latent thermal heat for diverse applications. However, conventional PCMs exhibit significant disadvantages, such low conductivity and leakage. Therefore, highly-thermally-conductive composite (CPCMs) have received increasing research interest by virtue of integrating nanofillers with high stability, hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), into the organic PCM matrices. While several nanomaterials-reinforced composites, graphene-based CPCMs, been reviewed extensively, however, there are no critical reviews on performance BN-enhanced CPCMs in this literature review highlights comprehensively summarizes latest improvements BN-filled a focus different types BN allotropes, including hBN, nanoplatelets, nanosheets nanotubes. Moreover, extensive discussion fabrication processes, effects functionalization porous scaffolds, well applications fillers shell materials. Specifically, novel theoretical experimental methodologies achieving conductivities compared. Additionally, some other fundamental parameters associated properties, fusion, cycle thermal-to-solar efficiencies also discussed. Finally, current challenges field BN-incorporated listed/discussed, recommendations future development better properties cater needs provided.
