This study is aimed to understand the effect of pyrolysis temperature on the biochar synthesis for shape stabilizing the Lauric acid (LA). Three different temperatures (350, 500, and 650 ℃) have been chosen with a soaking time of 1h for synthesizing biochars form sesame plants (SP). The structural characterizations indicate the formation of amorphous biochar at 350 ℃ whereas, a stain of graphene formation has been observed for the biochar synthesized at 500 ℃. Formation of a substantial amount of graphene has been found for the sample, synthesized at 650 ℃. Energy storage performances of the PCMs which are shape stabilized by these three biochars have been discussed in this paper.
