Abstract Although optimizing the design of thermal conductive frameworks to promote collection, transportation, and storage energy in composite phase change materials (CPCMs) is widely studied, research on oriented layered still exploratory stage. Taking inspiration from bidirectional ice template strategy, a new approach proposed influence “oriented micro‐unit” conductivity photothermal mass transfer CPCMs. Three aramid nanofibers graphene nanosheets aerogels with different structures are prepared by high‐energy ball milling freezing. The enthalpy values within range 146–152 J g −1 . Photothermal conversion experiments, hot plate solar‐thermal‐electric experiments multi‐physics field simulation analysis jointly show that CPCMs “back‐to‐back” radial structure behaves most outstanding ability heat performance, an increase 173.3%, efficiency 91.9%, maximum output voltage 303.3 mV. opens up ideas for where directional required.

Nb₂CT_x MXene/Delignified Wood–Supported Phase-Change Composites with Desirable Photothermal Conversion Efficiency and Enhanced Flame Retardancy for Solar–Thermal Energy Storage

ACS Applied Energy Materials, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 7(6), С. 2178 - 2188

Опубликована: Март 14, 2024

Although organic phase-change materials (PCMs) have been widely used for thermal energy storage, their high flammability, poor photothermal conversion efficiency, and liquid leakage issues severely restrict practical applications in solar–thermal fields. Herein, novel form-stabilized composite PCMs (CMPCMs) with storage density, excellent flame retardancy, desirable efficiency were prepared by impregnating n-docosane into phytic acid (PA)/melamine (MEL)-modified Nb2CTx MXene/delignified wood (CMDW) under vacuum assistance. The interconnected three-dimensional porous CMDW supported avoided PCM leakage, owing to its strong surface tension capillary forces. Differential scanning calorimetry analysis revealed that the CMPCMs exhibited satisfactory encapsulation ratios (up 91.6%) superior densities (190.2–219.5 J/g). Decorating delignified through MXene nanosheet deposition considerably improved 89.5%). Furthermore, increasing content of PA MEL composites, total heat release peak rate decreased remarkably due synergistic nitrogen–phosphorus flame-retardant mechanism, suggesting improvement properties CMPCMs. Overall, shape-stabilized demonstrate tremendous potential management applications.
