A simple graphene-carbon nanotube aerogel composite was prepared. In this paper, we studied the three-dimensional (3 D) thermally conductive frameworks with different ratios of graphene oxide (GO) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The effects of 3 D thermal conductive frameworks with different ratios of GO and CNT on the morphology, structure and thermal conductivity of phase change composites were also studied. The results show that the 3 D thermally conductive framework has the advantages of managing the thermal conductivity of phase change composites. The obtained phase change composite with only 1 wt% of graphene-carbon nanotube aerogels showed top-quality thermal conductivity of 0.76 W/m·K. The preparation process was simple and has the advantage of environmental protection, so which was suitable for practical applications using polyethylene glycol/graphene-carbon nanotube aerogel phase change composite as energy materials, and has manageable energy conversion, storage and thermal conductivity properties.
