掺杂石墨烯纳米片对硝酸钠相变特性的影响及机理

纳米增强剂通常被用来提升相变材料的导热性能,但这种方式通常伴随着复合后材料相变焓的降低.虽然这种降低难以避免,但其微观机理乃至影响规律却始终未能明晰.为深入探究纳米复合相变材料相变焓降低的机理,本文以熔融硝酸钠(太阳盐的重要组成成分)为相变材料,制备了石墨烯纳米片质量分数为0%,0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%的复合相变材料.通过实验测量与分子动力学模拟的方法深入分析了石墨烯纳米片的掺杂导致熔融硝酸钠产生团簇以及复合材料熔点和相变焓非依数性降低的影响机理.结果表明,石墨烯纳米片质量分数为1.5%时,硝酸钠致密层和石墨烯纳米片间的质心等效距离最接近他们相互作用势的势阱位置,此时二者之间相互吸引作用最强,熔盐分子的运动受限最为严重,难以发生熔化,从而导致相变焓降低最为显著.为了最大限度地避免纳米复合相变材料相变焓的损失,应根据相变材料与纳米增强剂的类型及其相互作用类型,合理选择纳米增强剂的质量分数.在实际应用中,恰当的质量分数还将在一定程度上降低复合相变材料的制备成本.

Experimental study on enhanced heat transfer of nanocomposite phase change materials

Nanocomposite phase change materials (NCPCMs) containing different mass fractions (nanomaterial concentration) and different copper nanoparticle (CN)/multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) mass ratios were prepared and experimentally studied. Latent heat and thermal conductivity of the NCPCMs were studied and calculated by using the T-history method. The results revealed that addition of CN or MWCNT to the phase change material (PCM) resulted in NCPCMs with enhanced thermal conductivity and charge rates, respectively. However, when both nanoparticle materials were added to the PCM simultaneously, the resulting NCPCMs improved their thermal performance below expectations as a result of agglomeration and sedimentation between the two additives. Thus, the NCPCMs containing only CN or MWCNT showed superior thermophysical properties than the pure PCM, while the NCPCM containing both CN and MWCNT did not improve the thermal characteristic of PCM significantly.

Thermal effect of Ge_2Sb_2Te_5 in phase change memory device

The properties of Raman phonons are very important due to the fact that they can availably reflect some important physical information. An abnormal Raman peak is observed at about 558 cm-1in In film composed of In/InOx core–shell structured nanoparticles, and the phonon mode stays very stable when the temperature changes. Our results indicate that this Raman scattering is attributed to the existence of incomplete indium oxide in the oxide shell.     

Laser-driven switching dynamics in phase change materials investigated by time-resolved X-ray absorption spectroscopy

Time-dependent X-ray absorption spectroscopy at the Ge L₃ edge is used to study the optical switching dynamics of epitaxial phase change materials grown on Si(111) membranes. Small differences between the static absorption spectra of the crystalline and laser-amorphized phase of GeTe are observed. Furthermore, a new approach for pump-probe studies on phase change materials is presented. However, no time-dependent change in the X-ray absorption > 0.1% has been detected so far. This is mainly attributed to sample deterioration at 3 kHz pump-probe rates.     

Experimental study on the phase change and thermal properties of paraffin/carbon materials based thermal energy storage materials

In order to enhance the thermal energy storage efficiency of phase change materials, in this paper, expanded graphite (EG), multi-layer graphene nanoplatelet (MGN), graphite powder (GP) and multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) as the effective heat transfer promoters in different mass fraction (0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.5 wt.%) were added into the paraffin. The chemical properties, latent heat capacities, thermal conductivities and heat storage performances of paraffin and the composites were investigated. The results showed that the addition of EG, MGN, GP and MWCNT could increase the thermal conductivity of paraffin. At 20 °C, the thermal conductivity of the paraffin was increased by 61.04%, 51.2%, 12.18% and 10.22% with 2.5 wt.% EG, MGN, GP and MWCNT, respectively. In addition, with the same mass fraction, the heat storage and release time of the composite were 56.03% and 54.26%, respectively, shorter than that of paraffin when the additive was EG.     

Thermal conductivity and diffusion behaviour of lauric acid confined in carbon nanotubes as heat storage materials

The thermal conductivity and diffusion behaviour of lauric acid (LA) confined in single-walled carbon nanotube (CNT) with the filling ratio of 80% are investigated by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. It is found that the concentric multilayer LA tubes are clearly observed under the interaction of CNT and LA and the hydrogen bonds (HB) among LA molecules in a confined environment. Due to the phonon scattering in low-frequency and the high-thermal conductivity characteristics of CNT, the axial thermal conductivity of CNT/LA is 49–57% lower than that of empty CNT and 115–188 times higher than that of crystal LA at the temperature range of 280 and 360?K. The confined LA molecules move as a whole cluster due to the long-lasting HB action and travel much faster than the bulk.     

A study on preparation and properties of carbon materials/myristic acid composite phase change thermal energy storage materials

Microscale graphite (Gr) and nanoscale multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were chosen to modify the organic phase change material (PCM) of myristic acid (MA). The Gr/MA and MWCNTs/MA composite PCMs were prepared by adding the carbon materials at different mass fractions into MA. The experimental results indicated that both Gr and MWCNTs could enhance the thermal conductivity of MA. For the 3?wt% loading, the solid thermal conductivity of MA increased by 37.42% with Gr and 62.26% with MWCNTs. The FT-IR spectra showed that the reactions between carbon materials and MA were physical. The DSC results illustrated that the phase change latent heats of the composite PCMs decreased gradually with the additives increasing. Gr and MWCNTs strengthened the thermal stability of MA. The heat release rates of the composite PCMs accelerated. Three hundred thermal cycles of the chosen composite PCMs revealed that the prepared composite PCMs presented good thermal cycling stability.     

Crystal structure and thermochemical properties of phase change materials bis(1-octylammonium) tetrachlorochromate

A new crystalline complex (C₈H₁₇NH₃)₂CdCl₄(s) (abbreviated as C₈Cd(s)) is synthesized by liquid phase reaction. The crystal structure and composition of the complex are determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction, chemical analysis, and elementary analysis. It is triclinic, the space group is P-1 and Z = 2. The lattice potential energy of the title complex is calculated to be U_POT (C₈Cd(s))=978.83 kJ·mol^-1 from crystallographic data. Low-temperature heat capacities of the complex are measured by a precision automatic adiabatic calorimeter over a temperature range from 78 K to 384 K. The temperature, molar enthalpy, and entropy of the phase transition for the complex are determined to be 307.3± 0.15 K, 10.15± 0.23 kJ·mol^-1, and 33.05± 0.78 J·K^-1·mol^-1 respectively for the endothermic peak. Two polynomial equations of the heat capacities each as a function of temperature are fitted by the least-square method. Smoothed heat capacity and thermodynamic functions of the complex are calculated based on the fitted polynomials.     

Structure of phase change materials for data storage

Phase change materials based on chalcogenide alloys play an important role in optical and electrical memory devices. Both applications rely on the reversible phase transition of these alloys between amorphous and metastable cubic states. However, their atomic arrangements are not yet clear, which results in the unknown phase change mechanism of the utilization. Here using ab initio calculations we have determined the atomic arrangements. The results show that the metastable structure consists of special repeated units possessing rocksalt symmetry, whereas the so-called vacancy positions are highly ordered and layered and just result from the cubic symmetry. Finally, the fast and reversible phase change comes from the intrinsic similarity in the structures of the amorphous and metastable states.
