Effect of Graphene Oxide on Phase Change Materials Based on Disodium Hydrogen Phosphate Dodecahydrate for Thermal Storage.

ABSTRACT: A novel composite phase change material (PCM) for thermal energy storage was prepared by adding graphene oxide (GO) to melted disodium hydrogen phosphate dodecahydrate (DHPD, Na2HPO4·12H2O), which was then impregnated into expanded vermiculite (EV). Because of the addition of GO, the contact angle between melted DHPD and EV was decreased from 56 to 45°. The maximum latent heat of the composite PCM without GO was 167 J/g, which was improved to 229 J/g by adding 0.2 wt % GO. The phase change temperature of the composite PCM was around 42 °C. The results from X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and contact angle tests revealed that the improvement in thermal energy storage was achieved because of the reduction of crystal water loss and the increased encapsulation amount of salt hydrates. Thus, the thermal stability of the composite PCM was improved by the addition of GO, which was demonstrated by thermogravimetric analysis. The results of all analyses indicate that the addition of a low weight fraction GO can promote the performance of salt hydrates existing in EV.

Form-Stable Composite Phase Change Materials Based on Porous Copper-Graphene Heterostructures for Solar Thermal Energy Conversion and Storage.

Project description:Solar-thermal energy conversion and storage technology has attracted great interest in the past few decades. Phase change materials (PCMs), by storing and releasing solar energy, are able to effectively address the imbalance between energy supply and demand, but they still have the disadvantage of low thermal conductivity and leakage problems. In this work, new form-stable solar thermal storage materials by impregnating paraffin PCMs within porous copper-graphene (G-Cu) heterostructures were designed, which integrated high thermal conductivity, high solar energy absorption, and anti-leakage properties. In this new structure, graphene can directly absorb and store solar energy in the paraffin PCMs by means of phase change heat transfer. The porous structure provided good heat conduction, and the large surface area increased the loading capacity of solar thermal storage materials. The small pores and superhydrophobic surfaces of the modified porous G-Cu heterostructures effectively hindered the leakage issues during the phase change process. The experimental results exhibited that the thermal conductivity of the prepared form-stable PCM composites was up to 2.99 W/(m·K), and no leakage took place in the solar-thermal charging process. At last, we demonstrated that the PCM composites as an energy source were easily integrated with a thermoelectric chip to generate electric energy by absorbing and converting solar energy.

Fabrication and characterization of capric acid/reduced graphene oxide decorated diatomite composite phase change materials for solar energy storage.

Project description:In this paper, diatomite-based composite phase change materials (DI-based CPCMs) were fabricated by the vacuum impregnation of capric acid (CA) into reduced graphene oxide decorated diatomite (rGO-DI). In the DI-based CPCMs, DI was used as the supporting material, which was first purified by thermal treatment and alkali treatment, to improve the adsorption capacity of the PCM, rGO was used to decorate the DI to improve the thermal conductivity of CPCMs. The rGO-DI could retain CA at the weight fraction of 60% without leakage. The maximum melting and freezing enthalpy of CA/rGO-DI-2 reached 106.2 J g-1 and 108.6 J g-1, respectively, and its thermal conductivity was up to 0.5226 W m-1 · K, 260.4% and 81.3% higher than pure CA and CA/DI, respectively. The CPCMs have good thermal reliability and thermal stability, and there was no chemical reaction between CA and rGO-DI. The CPCMs maintained thermal properties after 200 melting-freezing cycles. Finally, the CPCMs have potential for application in solar energy storage systems.

Optically-controlled long-term storage and release of thermal energy in phase-change materials.

Project description:Thermal energy storage offers enormous potential for a wide range of energy technologies. Phase-change materials offer state-of-the-art thermal storage due to high latent heat. However, spontaneous heat loss from thermally charged phase-change materials to cooler surroundings occurs due to the absence of a significant energy barrier for the liquid-solid transition. This prevents control over the thermal storage, and developing effective methods to address this problem has remained an elusive goal. Herein, we report a combination of photo-switching dopants and organic phase-change materials as a way to introduce an activation energy barrier for phase-change materials solidification and to conserve thermal energy in the materials, allowing them to be triggered optically to release their stored latent heat. This approach enables the retention of thermal energy (about 200?J?g-1) in the materials for at least 10?h at temperatures lower than the original crystallization point, unlocking opportunities for portable thermal energy storage systems.

Organic Phase Change Materials for Thermal Energy Storage: Influence of Molecular Structure on Properties.

Project description:Materials that change phase (e.g., via melting) can store thermal energy with energy densities comparable to batteries. Phase change materials will play an increasing role in reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, by scavenging thermal energy for later use. Therefore, it is useful to have summaries of phase change properties over a wide range of materials. In the present work, we review the relationship between molecular structure and trends in relevant phase change properties (melting temperature, and gravimetric enthalpy of fusion) for about 200 organic compounds from several chemical families, namely alkanes (paraffins), fatty acids, fatty alcohols, esters, diamines, dinitriles, diols, dioic acids, and diamides. We also review availability and cost, chemical compatibility, and thermal and chemical stabilities, to provide practical information for PCM selection. Compounds with even chain alkyl lengths generally give higher melting temperatures, store more thermal energy per unit mass due to more efficient packing, and are of lower cost than the comparable compounds with odd alkyl chains.

Biomass-Based Shape-Stabilized Composite Phase-Change Materials with High Solar-Thermal Conversion Efficiency for Thermal Energy Storage.

Project description:To alleviate the increasing energy crisis and achieve energy saving and consumption reduction in building materials, preparing shape-stabilized phase-change materials using bio-porous carbon materials from renewable organic waste to building envelope materials is an effective strategy. In this work, pine cone porous biomass carbon (PCC) was prepared via a chemical activation method using renewable biomaterial pine cone as a precursor and potassium hydroxide (KOH) as an activator. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) and octadecane (OD) were loaded into PCC using the vacuum impregnation method to prepare polyethylene glycol/pine cone porous biomass carbon (PEG/PCC) and octadecane/pine cone porous biomass carbon (OD/PCC) shape-stabilized phase-change materials. PCCs with a high specific surface area and pore volume were obtained by adjusting the calcination temperature and amount of KOH, which was shown as a caterpillar-like and block morphology. The shape-stabilized PEG/PCC and OD/PCC composites showed high phase-change enthalpies of 144.3 J/g and 162.3 J/g, and the solar-thermal energy conversion efficiencies of the PEG/PCC and OD/PCC reached 79.9% and 84.8%, respectively. The effects of the contents of PEG/PCC and OD/PCC on the temperature-controlling capability of rigid polyurethane foam composites were further investigated. The results showed that the temperature-regulating and temperature-controlling capabilities of the energy-storing rigid polyurethane foam composites were gradually enhanced with an increase in the phase-change material content, and there was a significant thermostatic plateau in energy absorption at 25 °C and energy release at 10 °C, which decreased the energy consumption.

Bio-based sunflower carbon/polyethylene glycol shape-stabilized phase change materials for thermal energy storage.

Project description:The exploitation of shape-stabilized phase change materials with high thermal conductivity and energy storage capacity is an effective strategy for improving energy efficiency. In this work, sunflower stem carbon/polyethylene glycol (SS-PEG) and sunflower receptacle carbon/polyethylene glycol (SR-PEG) shape-stabilized phase change materials, utilizing sunflower stem and receptacle biomass carbon with high specific surface area and pore volume obtained by carbonization as frameworks and polyethylene glycol as an energy storage material, were prepared by the vacuum impregnation method. The ability to load polyethylene glycol into the pore structure of carbon materials in different sunflower parts was mainly investigated, and the micro-morphology, compositional structure and thermal properties were characterized and analyzed using SEM, IR spectroscopy, XRD, DSC and TG techniques. The results showed that the carbonized sunflower stems maintained the sieve pore structure, and the carbonized sunflower receptacle was a macroporous structure containing a large number of three-dimensional interconnections. At the same time, the interaction between polyethylene glycol and each carbon material occurred through physisorption. The melting enthalpies of SS-PEG and SR-PEG shape-stabilized phase change materials were 153.4 J g-1 and 171.5 J g-1, respectively, and the loading rates reached 81.9% and 91.5%, with initial thermal decomposition temperatures (T 5%) of 344 °C and 368 °C.

Enhanced performance and interfacial investigation of mineral-based composite phase change materials for thermal energy storage.

Project description:A novel mineral-based composite phase change materials (PCMs) was prepared via vacuum impregnation method assisted with microwave-acid treatment of the graphite (G) and bentonite (B) mixture. Graphite and microwave-acid treated bentonite mixture (GBm) had more loading capacity and higher crystallinity of stearic acid (SA) in the SA/GBm composite. The SA/GBm composite showed an enhanced thermal storage capacity, latent heats for melting and freezing (84.64 and 84.14 J/g) was higher than those of SA/B sample (48.43 and 47.13 J/g, respectively). Addition of graphite was beneficial to the enhancement in thermal conductivity of the SA/GBm composite, which could reach 0.77 W/m K, 31% higher than SA/B and 196% than pure SA. Furthermore, atomic-level interfaces between SA and support surfaces were depicted, and the mechanism of enhanced thermal storage properties was in detail investigated.

Novel PEG<sub>6000</sub>-Silica-MWCNTs Shape-Stabilized Composite Phase-Change Materials (ssCPCMs) for Thermal-Energy Storage.

Project description:This paper describes the preparation of new PEG6000-silica-MWCNTs composites as shape-stabilized phase change materials (ssPCMs) for application in latent heat storage. An innovative method was employed to obtain the new organic-inorganic hybrid materials, in which both a part of the PEG chains, used as the phase change material, and a part of the hydroxyl functionalized multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs-OH), used as thermo-conductive fillers, were covalently connected by newly formed urethane bonds to the in-situ-generated silica matrix. The study's main aim was to investigate the optimal amount of PEG6000 that can be added to the fixed sol-gel reaction mixture so that no leakage of PEG occurs after repeated heating-cooling cycles. The findings show that the optimum PEG6000/NCOTEOS molar ratio was 2/1 (~91.5% PEG6000), because both the connected and free PEG chains interacted strongly with the in-situ-generated silica matrix to form a shape-stabilized material while preserving high phase-transition enthalpies (~153 J/G). Morphological and structural findings obtained by SEM, X-ray and Raman techniques indicated a distribution of the silica component in the amorphous phase (~27% for the optimum composition) located among the crystalline lamellae built by the folded chains of the PEG component. This composite maintained good chemical stability after a 450-cycle thermal test and had a good storage efficiency (~84%).

Copper ferrites@reduced graphene oxide anode materials for advanced lithium storage applications.

Project description:Copper ferrites are emerging transition metal oxides that have potential applications in energy storage devices. However, it still lacks in-depth designing of copper ferrites based anode architectures with enhanced electroactivity for lithium-ion batteries. Here, we report a facile synthesis technology of copper ferrites anchored on reduced graphene oxide (CuFeO2@rGO and Cu/CuFe2O4@rGO) as the high-performance electrodes. In the resulting configuration, reduced graphene offers continuous conductive channels for electron/ion transfer and high specific surface area to accommodate the volume expansion of copper ferrites. Consequently, the sheet-on-sheet CuFeO2@rGO electrode exhibits a high reversible capacity (587?mAh?g-1 after 100 cycles at 200?mA?g-1). In particular, Cu/CuFe2O4@rGO hybrid, which combines the advantages of nano-copper and reduced graphene, manifests a significant enhancement in lithium storage properties. It reveals superior rate capability (723?mAh?g-1 at 800?mA?g-1; 560?mAh?g-1 at 3200?mA?g-1) and robust cycling capability (1102?mAh?g-1 after 250 cycles at 800?mA?g-1). This unique structure design provides a strategy for the development of multivalent metal oxides in lithium storage device applications.
