Summary As an energy storage material, microencapsulated phase change materials (MPCMs) have become a research hotspot in recent years due to their unique thermophysical properties. However, this material usually has limitations in terms of its performance, such as low encapsulation efficiency, leakage during phase change, poor cycle stability, and high degree of supercooling. To solve these problems, nanoparticle as‐modified material to improve the performance of MPCMs has attracted the attention of both domestic and overseas scholars. This paper aims to review the research progress of MPCMs modified by nanoparticle from three aspects: preparation, performance, and application. In this paper, the preparation method and principle of nanoparticles used for the modification of MPCMs are first introduced. Then, based on different properties (mechanical properties, thermal conductivity, thermal stability, and supercooling), the research works of nanoparticle‐modified MPCMs in recent years are reviewed. Finally, the practical applications of nanocomposite MPCM in the field of slurry, building, asphalt pavement, and battery thermal management are reported.

“…Thermal conductivity enhancement has been studied for a longer period, where Miyatake and co-workers utilized randomly oriented carbon fibers; 65 however, nowadays, diamond nanoparticles are integrated in paraffin encapsulated in gelatin−Arabic gum to enhance the thermal conductivity, as studied by Dorkoosh and co-workers. 66 In another study, Guo and co-workers studied the flame retardancy characteristics of paraffin by integrating novel 2,6,7-trioxa-1-phosphabicyclo-[2.2.2]-octane-4-methanol that was reacted with trimellitic anhydride (a flame-retardant curing agent) and melamine cyanurate combined in epoxy resin as a skeleton. 67 Recently, paraffin encapsulation was performed by Seitz and Ajiro, employing weak polyelectrolytes poly(allylamine) and poly(acrylic acid) in a layer-by-layer fashion.…”

Phase-change materials (PCMs) are utilized for thermal energy storage (TES) to bridge the gap between supply and demand of energy. Organic PCMs, similar to paraffins, fatty acids, and polyethylene glycol, are extensively explored, thanks to their high TES capacity (∼5–10 times more than the sensible heat storage of water/rock), wide temperature range (spanning from −5 °C to 190 °C), good thermal stability over heating–cooling cycles (∼100 cycles), etc. However, “leakage” of PCMs upon transformation from solid to liquid has limited their usage as TES materials; thus, PCMs are confined to a biopolymeric framework for circumventing seepages. However, extensive analysis has concluded that there is a deficiency in availability of consolidated data on biopolymeric-based framework for PCMs. Thus, this review covers various literatures on the application of assorted biopolymers as framework for PCM. Simultaneously, we have also discussed on importance of biopolymers for constructing a framework for PCMs. Finally, the review concludes with future prospects, along with possibilities and disputes on the course of their practical application.

During this study, paraffin wax with low melting point was encapsulated in a urea-formaldehyde resin to prepare a novel microencapsulated phase change material (Micro-P6) for temperature regulation and thermal energy storage. The structure and properties of Micro-P6 were characterized by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimeter, laser particle size analyzer, thermogravimetric analysis, contact angle analysis, and scanning electron microscope. The results indicated that the chemical structure of Micro-P6 meets the designed core-shell structure; and the paraffin wax with low melting point was successfully encapsulated by using urea-formaldehyde resin; and the Micro-P6 shows a spherical structure and rough surface, and the average size is 8.0-10.0 μm. Then, the performances of Micro-P6, such as core content, mechanical property, thermal conductivity and durability, were tested. Based on above characterization and performance test, it was indicated that the synthesized Micro-P6 could be used in the field of cementing and construction for temperature regulation and thermal energy storage. The applications of Micro-P6 in the field of cementing and construction will be completed in our next study.
