evolution of 5G technology necessitates effective thermal management strategies for compact, high-power devices. The potential of aluminum-based vapor chambers (VCs) as thermal management solutions is recognized, yet the heat transfer performance is limited by the capillary constraints of the wick structures. This study proposes a laser-sintered composite wick to address this limitation. Experimental evaluations were conducted on microgroove wicks (MW) and groove\u2013spiral woven mesh composite wicks (GSCW), utilizing ethanol and acetone as the working fluids. The MW, characterized by a laser spacing of 0.2 mm and two passes, demonstrated a capillary rise of 52.90 mm, while the spiral woven mesh (SWM) achieved a rise of 61.48 mm. Notably, the GSCW surpassed both configurations, reaching a capillary height of 84.57 mm and a capillary parameter (K\/Reff) of 2.769 \u03bcm, which corresponds to increases of 90.15% and 43.76% over the MW and SWM, respectively. This study demonstrates an effective approach to enhancing the capillary performance of aluminum wicks, which provides valuable insights for the design of composite wicks, particularly for applications in ultra-thin aluminum VC.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/mi16040370","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,25]],"date-time":"2025-03-25T06:25:15Z","timestamp":1742883915000},"page":"370","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Fabrication and Performance of Aluminum-Based Composite Wicks Using a Two-Step Laser-Sintering Process"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Yong","family":"Tang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical and Automotive Engineering, South China University of Technology, Guangzhou 510640, China"},{"name":"SCUT-Zhuhai Institute of Modern Industrial Innovation, Zhuhai 519175, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuxin","family":"Wei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical and Automotive Engineering, South China University of Technology, Guangzhou 510640, China"},{"name":"SCUT-Zhuhai Institute of Modern Industrial Innovation, Zhuhai 519175, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tong","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical and Automotive Engineering, South China University of Technology, Guangzhou 510640, China"},{"name":"SCUT-Zhuhai Institute of Modern Industrial Innovation, Zhuhai 519175, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jingjing","family":"Bai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical and Automotive Engineering, South China University of Technology, Guangzhou 510640, China"},{"name":"SCUT-Zhuhai Institute of Modern Industrial Innovation, Zhuhai 519175, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fangqiong","family":"Luo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical and Automotive Engineering, South China University of Technology, Guangzhou 510640, China"},{"name":"SCUT-Zhuhai Institute of Modern Industrial Innovation, Zhuhai 519175, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Huarong","family":"Qiu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical and Automotive Engineering, South China University of Technology, Guangzhou 510640, China"},{"name":"SCUT-Zhuhai Institute of Modern Industrial Innovation, Zhuhai 519175, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yiming","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical and Automotive Engineering, South China University of Technology, Guangzhou 510640, China"},{"name":"SCUT-Zhuhai Institute of Modern Industrial Innovation, Zhuhai 519175, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4235-2533","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wei","family":"Yuan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical and Automotive Engineering, South China University of Technology, Guangzhou 510640, China"},{"name":"SCUT-Zhuhai Institute of Modern Industrial Innovation, Zhuhai 519175, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shiwei","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical and Automotive Engineering, South China University of Technology, Guangzhou 510640, China"},{"name":"SCUT-Zhuhai Institute of Modern Industrial Innovation, Zhuhai 519175, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"821","DOI":"10.1016\/j.rser.2017.04.112","article-title":"A critical review of traditional and emerging techniques and fluids for electronics cooling","volume":"78","year":"2017","journal-title":"Renew.
