AB  - How to construct a functional unit for heat storage by using biomass materials is 
      significant for the exploration of phase change materials (PCMs). In this work, 
      we try to design and construct a functional unit for heat storage by employing a 
      vacuum impregnation method to prepare sugarcane-based shape stabilized phase 
      change materials (SSPCMs) for improving the thermal conductivity of phase change 
      materials (PCMs) and preventing the liquid state leakage of PCMs. The 
      morphologies of the prepared materials are characterized by Scanning electron 
      microscope (SEM) as containing a unique channel structure which is viewed as the 
      key factor for heat storage. X-ray diffractometry (XRD), Fourier transform 
      infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were used to 
      characterize the prepared materials. The results indicated that no chemical 
      reaction occurred between PEG and sugarcane-based biomass during the preparation 
      process and SSPCMs showed great thermal stability. Their thermal properties are 
      measured by using the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) characterization 
      and show a high melting enthalpy of 140.04 J/g and 94.84% of the relative 
      enthalpy efficiency, illustrating the excellent shape stabilized phase change 
      behavior. Moreover, the highest thermal conductivity of SSPCMs is up to 
      0.297 W/(mK), which is 28.02% higher than that of the pristine PEG. The excellent 
      capability for thermal energy storage is attributed to the directional thermal 
      conduction skeletons and perfect open channels and the unique anisotropic 
      three-dimensional structure of the SSPCMs. Hence, the unique structure with PEG 
      is testified as the functional unit for heat storage. Comprehensively considering 
      the excellent properties of sugarcane-based materials-providing cheap raw 
      materials via green preparation-it is conceived that sugarcane-based materials 
      could be applied in many energy-related devices with reasonable function unit 
      design.
