Abstract:Semiclathrate hydrates (SCHs) have been expected to be one of the phase change materials for cold energy storage. The large degree of supercooling in SCH formation, however, is a major obstacle to the practical applications of SCHs. As a way to suppress the degree of supercooling, we focused on the memory effect (a kind of temperature hysteresis) in the tetra-n-butylammonium dicarboxylate SCHs. The tartarate, malate, and succinate anions, which have similar chemical structures, were used as anions. As a result… Show more
