Novel phase change materials based on fatty acid eutectics and triallyl isocyanurate composites for thermal energy storage

Abstract

In this study, a series of dimension‐stabilized fatty acid eutectics and triallyl isocyanurate (TAIC) composite phase change materials were prepared via in situ reaction by blending the fatty acids and TAIC, in which the fatty acids were introduced as a phase change material (PCM), and TAIC performed as a supporting material by self‐crosslinking. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and thermogravimetric analysis were applied to investigate the chemical structure, crystalline properties, phase transition behavior, microstructure, and thermal stability of the composites. The results indicated that the composite possessed excellent thermal reliability and heat storage durability even after 300 heating–cooling cycles. Moreover, the composites had applicable phase transition temperatures in the range of 26–40 °C and satisfying latent heat storage capacities of higher than 110 J/g. The SEM images showed that the particle size of the nanoparticles of the composites was about 200 nm after treatment. The dimensional measurement of the composites proved a high service temperature of 100 °C, indicating that the composites were promising for thermal energy storage materials. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Teknologi refrigerasi ramah lingkungan menggunakan energi matahari menuju green campus Politeknik Negeri Bali

“…Oleh karena, sifat intermittency dari sumber energi terbarukan, terutama energi matahari, merupakan kendala utama sejauh pasokan energi dari mereka diperhatikan, dan pengaturan khusus harus dibuat untuk kemampuan beradaptasi mereka [12]. Sistem energi terintegrasi / hybrid yang terdiri dari berbagai teknologi yang digabungkan bersama untuk memangkas permintaan daya puncak (perataan beban) sedang digunakan secara komplementer [13,14]. Sebagian besar sistem hybrid menggunakan berbasis bahan bakar berbasis karbon untuk mengatasi terputusnya sumber energi terbarukan [15].…”

Fabrication and performance of shape‐stable phase change materials based on epoxy group crosslinking

“…In addition, the use of organic solvents cannot be avoided during specimen fabrication, and these solvents are not environmentally friendly. Huang et al 39,40 chose to use cetyl alcohol and fatty acid co‐crystals as the phase transition components, which avoided the issues associated with PEG. These two experiments resulted in excellent SSPCMs, but the curing process was tedious and used harsh conditions.…”

Performance of form‐stable myristic acid/polymethyl methacrylate composite phase‐change material coated with nitrile butadiene rubber/polyacrylic acid layered coatings

“…Inorganic PCM such as salt hydrates demonstrate low crystallization rates, have sub cooling effect, and exhibit phase segregation during transition . Meanwhile for organic PCMs, fatty acids such as palmitic acid, myristic acid (MA), and stearic acid (SA) are promising as they possess some superior properties over other PCMs such as melting congruency, good chemical stability, nontoxicity, no supercooling effects during phase transition, and suitable melting temperature range for solar passive heating instruments …”
