This work presents the development of novel gypsum board composites for advanced thermal energy storage (TES) and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding applications. Activated carbon (AC) derived from spent coffee with a high surface area (SBET = 1372 m2/g) was used as shape stabilizer, while commercial paraffin, RT18HC, organic encapsulant phase change material (PCM). The AC showed remarkable encapsulation efficiency stabilizer PCM, ~120.9 wt% (RT18HC), melting enthalpy (ΔHm)...
