Fabrication of 3DS-TEMCs. (a) 3D-printed diagonal grid structures with different infill densities (30, 60, and 80% of the printed objects) as thermally conductive backbone structures for 3DS-TEMCs. (b) Preparation of the octadecane-based MWCNT/GNP nanocomposites. (c) Incorporation of 3D-printed porous structures and phase change nanocomposites to obtain 3DS-TEMCs.
