Abstract:
Conventional shape-stabilized phase change materials (PCMs) often face the challenge of simultaneously accomplishing excellent thermal storage and anti-leakage performances as well as photo-thermal conversion performance. To effectively address this issue, a mesoporous surface dual-scale carbon foam (MDCF) was developed and employed as a support for stearic acid (SA) to prepare composite PCM. Results shows that the loading capacity of SA in the MDCF reaches 78.61 wt% without any leakage during phase transition. The SA was not only filled into large pores the MDCF but also infiltrated into small cells of its walls, leading to a good interface bonding between SA and MDCF. The resulting MDCF/SA composite has a high compression strength of 10.34 MPa and a thermal conductivity of 1.093 W/m & sdot;K & sdot; K increasing by 4.71 times that of SA. In addition, the composite exhibits a melting enthalpy of 171.9 J/g and a freezing enthalpy of 169.9 J/g with a thermal storage efficiency of up to 99.49 %. Meanwhile, it displays a high photo-thermal conversion efficiency of 89.5 % with an average absorbance of 0.76 in the visible light spectrum. Moreover, the composite exhibits excellent thermal reliability after 600 thermal cycles with a slight decrease in enthalpy by 3.37 %. Consequently, the composite has significant potential for applications in thermal energy storage systems.
