Preparation and thermal properties of fatty acids/CNTs composite as shape-stabilized phase change materials

A series of fatty acids/carbon nanotubes (CNTs) composite shape-stabilized PCMs were prepared through infiltration method by using the eutectic mixture of capric acid, lauric acid, and palmitic acid as phase change materials, multi-walled CNTs as a supporting material. Nitrogen adsorption–desorption curves and SEM images of composite shape-stabilized PCMs indicate that the eutectic mixture was effectively absorbed into the porous structure of the CNTs. DSC thermograms show that the composite fatty acids/CNTs possess good phase change behavior. And the latent heat of the sample absorbed with 80 wt% fatty acids can achieve 101.6 J g^?1 in the melting process and its phase change temperatures and latent heat almost remain unchanged in 30 times of thermal cycling. Moreover, the thermal conductivity of the composite materials are significantly improved (up to 0.6661 W m^?1 k^?1) due to the addition of the highly thermal conductive CNTs.     

Nanocrystalline MgO samples (11.5 and 12.6 nm) derived from two different precursors: characterization and catalytic activity

Decanoic acid/expanded graphite composite phase change materials (DA/EG-PCMs) with high stability and excellent thermal conductivity were fabricated by blending expanded graphite (EG) and decanoic acid (DA). The structure, thermo-physical properties, and the formation mechanism of DA/EG-PCMs were investigated. The obtained results demonstrate that EG exhibits a network-like porous structure, which is superimposed of 10–50 μm thick graphite sheet. Therefore, DA can be effectively encapsulated through the binding between micropores and the surface adsorption of EG resulting in a relatively smaller DA/EG-PCMs particle with better dispersibility. In addition, adding EG into DA also increased both the thermal stability and the thermal conductivity while decreasing the charging and discharging time, which resulted in improved thermal efficiencies. Although adding EG can negatively influence the phase change behavior of DA, the temperature and enthalpy of phase change were still as high as 34.9 °C and 153.1 J g^?1, respectively. Based on a combination of experimental results and a comprehensive analysis of the phase transformation kinetics, it is concluded that DA/EG-PCMs with 10 mass% EG with improved thermal properties can meet the requirements for efficient temperature control in low-to-medium environments.     

Preparation and characterization of form-stable tetradecanol–palmitic acid expanded perlite composites containing carbon fiber for thermal energy storage

In this study, tetradecanol–palmitic acid/expanded perlite composites containing carbon fiber (TD-PA/EP-CF CPCMs) were prepared by a vacuum impregnation method. Binary eutectic mixtures of PA and TD were utilized as thermal energy storage material in the composites, where EP behaved as supporting material. X-ray diffraction demonstrated that crystal structures of PA, TD, EP, and CF remained unchanged, confirming no chemical interactions among raw materials besides physical combinations. The microstructures indicated that TD-PA was sufficiently absorbed into EP porous structure, forming no leakage even in molten state. Differential scanning calorimetry estimated the melting temperature of TD-PA/EP-CF CPCM to 33.6 °C, with high phase change latent heat (PCLH) of 138.3 kJ kg⁻¹. Also, the freezing temperature was estimated at 29.7 °C, with PCLH of 137.5 kJ kg⁻¹. The thermal cycling measurements showed that PCM composite had adequate stability even after 200 melting/freezing cycles. Moreover, the thermal conductivity enhanced from 0.48 to 1.081 W m⁻¹ K⁻¹ in the presence of CF. Overall, the proposed CPCMs look promising materials for future applications due to their appropriate phase change temperature, elevated PCLH, and better thermal stability.

     

Thermal-Conductivity-Enhancing Copper-Plated Expanded Graphite/Paraffin Composite for Highly Stable Phase-Change Materials

Paraffin (PA)/expanded graphite (EG) is an important composite phase change material with low cost, high heat storage, good thermal conductivity and cycling stability. Its thermal conductivity needs to be further improved for application in the thermal management system of power lithium-ion batteries. In this paper, copper plated expanded graphite (CPEG) with 3D porous structure was prepared by electroless copper plating method, which was used as thermal conductivity enhancing material to replace part of EG in PA/EG composite materials. For the optimized phase change material composed of 80 %PA-14 %EG-6 %CPEG, the copper content is very low (0.768 wt %), but its thermal conductivity can be significantly improved without loss of latent heat and thermal cycling stability. Its thermal conductivity is increased from 11 times to 16.5 times that of paraffin while compared with the copper-free composite material (80 %PA-20 %EG). The PA/EG/CPEG composite material exhibits good temperature control effect on power lithium-ion batteries.     

Thermal conductivity anisotropy of expanded graphite/ chlorate salt composites for thermal energy storage

ABSTRACT

Expanded graphite (EG)/LiCl-NaCl phase change composites are prepared by aqueous solution method with different EG amount and forming pressure to enhance heat conduction for high-temperature latent heat thermal energy storage application. Their microstructure and thermal conductivity are characterized. Results indicate that the composites are uniform and the LiCl-NaCl eutectic is well dispersed in the graphite flakes. Thermal conductivity of the LiCl-NaCl can increase to as much as 40.51 W/(m·K), which is 46 times higher than that of pure eutectic salt. With forming pressure, the thermal conductivities of the samples show anisotropy because of a flattened irregular honeycomb network of graphite. Within certain limits, the greater the forming pressure is, the more pronounced the anisotropy performs. In addition, the formulas to calculate the thermal conductivity in the axial direction and the radial direction are given based on the average rotation angle φ of EG basal plane, and experimental data show that the formula in the radial direction is especially useful for calculating the thermal conductivity.     

Graphitic nanofillers in PMMA nanocomposites—An investigation of particle size and dispersion and their influence on nanocomposite properties

Mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties of graphite/PMMA composites have been evaluated as functions of particle size and dispersion of the graphitic nanofiller components via the use of three different graphitic nanofillers: “as received graphite” (ARG), “expanded graphite,” (EG) and “graphite nanoplatelets” (GNPs) EG, a graphitic materials with much lower density than ARG, was prepared from ARG flakes via an acid intercalation and thermal expansion. Subsequent sonication of EG in a liquid yielded GNPs as thin stacks of graphitic platelets with thicknesses of ～10 nm. Solution‐based processing was used to prepare PMMA composites with these three fillers. Dynamic mechanical analysis, thermal analysis, and electrical impedance measurements were carried out on the resulting composites, demonstrating that reduced particle size, high surface area, and increased surface roughness can significantly alter the graphite/polymer interface and enhance the mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties of the polymer matrix. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Crystallization kinetics of tellurium-rich Se–Te–Sn glassy alloys

The objective of this study was to explore an innovative type of form-stable phase-change materials (PCMs) with flexible cellulose acetate (CA) nano-fibrous felts (nano-felts) absorbed with capric–myristic–stearic acid ternary eutectic mixture for thermal energy storage/retrieval. Capric–myristic–stearic acid (CMS) ternary eutectic mixture as model PCM was firstly prepared. The developed CA nano-felts as supporting material was mechanically flexible and was made from CA/polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) precursor composite nanofibers followed by removal of PVP components. The effects of original mass ratio of CA/PVP on absorption capacities of CA nano-felts were studied. The modified CA nano-felts with groove/porous structure and rough surfaces were capable of absorbing a large amount of PCMs. The morphological structures, as well as the properties of thermal energy storage, thermal stability and reliability, and thermal insulation of composite PCMs were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and thermal performance measurement, respectively. The results showed that CMS eutectic was absorbed in and/or supported by modified CA nano-felts. The heat enthalpy values of composite PCMs have slightly decreased in comparison with the corresponding theoretical values. The composite PCMs demonstrated good thermal stability and reliability after thermal cycles. The composite PCMs had high thermal insulation capability for temperature regulation.     

Evaluation of PCM/diatomite composites using exfoliated graphite nanoplatelets (xGnP) to improve thermal properties

This paper deals with the thermal performances of shape-stabilized phase change materials (SSPCM) for energy saving in various fields. This study enhanced thermal properties of SSPCM using exfoliated graphite nanoplatelets (xGnP). SSPCM, which contains the xGnP, was prepared by mixing and melting techniques for high dispersibility, thermal conductivity, and latent heat storage. In the experiment, we used hexadecane, octadecane, and paraffin as phase change materials (PCMs), and they have 254.7, 247.6, and 144.6 J g^?1 of latent heat capacity, and melting points of 20.84, 30.4, and 57.09 °C, respectively. The characteristics of SSPCMs were determined using SEM, DSC, FTIR, TG, TCi, and Energy simulation. SEM morphology showed homogenous dispersion of PCM and xGnP in the porous diatomite. DSC analysis results showed the latent heat capacity of SSPCM and SSPCM/xGnP composites, and TG analysis results showed the thermal reliability of the samples. Also, we checked the thermal conductivity of the SSPCM that contains xGnP, by TCi analysis.     

Preparation and investigation on tetradecanol and myristic acid/cellulose form-stable phase change material

In this paper, a novel form-stable phase change material (FS PCM) was prepared by incorporating the eutectic mixture of tetradecanol (TD) and myristic acid (MA) into the hydroxylpropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC). HPMC is used as support material, and the eutectic mixture is used as phase change material. The Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to study the chemical structure, crystallization behavior and morphology of the FS PCM, respectively. FT-IR, XRD and SEM showed that the TD–MA was distributed uniformly in HPMC by physical interaction. Specific surface area (BET) and pore size analysis determined the pore characteristics of the composite, and the results showed the porosity of HPMC. The thermal properties, thermal stability and thermal reliability were detected by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TG), thermal cycling test and leakage test. The TG, DSC and leakage analysis results revealed that the absorption of eutectic mixture into HPMC is nearly 50% and without seepage from the composite. The peak temperatures of melting and solidifying were 34.61 and 31.09 °C, and latent heat was 102.11/84.58 J g^?1 by DSC. TG and cycling experiment detected that the FS PCM showed good thermal stability and reliability performance.
