contents Solar photothermal conversion is one of the most straightforward methods to utilize solar energy. In this manuscript, a novel double-layer structure constructed of graphene enhanced thermoplastic polyurethanes (G-TPU) and neat thermoplastic polyurethanes (N-TPU) was developed via fused deposition modelling (FDM) 3D printing process. The developed G-TPU-N-TPU double-layer structure exhibited anisotropic thermal conductivity that simultaneously satisfied high in-plane (IP) thermal conductivity and low through-plane (TP) thermal conductivity. The top G-TPU layer essentially offered a high IP thermal conductivity of 4.54 W(mK) that lead to overall structure anisotropic thermal conductivity ratio (TCIP-TCTP) of 8. And the low thermal conductivity in the TP direction led to the heat retention effects for thermal storage. Nonetheless, the exceptional photothermal conversion effect of graphene flakes guaranteed the superior photothermal performance that was promising in the photothermal de-icing and infrared labels applications. Finally, the graphene flake enhancement in the mechanical properties of the G-TPU-N-TPU double layer structure was also evaluated that contributed to excellent impact resistance with a puncture energy reaching 12.86 J, and extraordinary wear resistance with a small friction coefficient of 0.1 over 1000 cycles, which ensured the structure suitable for applications at harsh environment.
