Preparation and thermal energy storage properties of paraffin/calcined diatomite composites as form-stable phase change materials

Experimental studies on cycling stable characteristics of inorganic phase change material CaCl2·6H2O-MgCl2·6H2O modified with SrCl2·6H2O and CMC

“…As the core of energy storage technology, phase change materials(PCMs) can effectively store or release a great amount of latent heat during the process of phase change. In addition, PCMs have already attracted enormous attention to investigators owing to their high energy storage density, isothermal operating process and quite small temperature variation [3][4]. PCMs are divided into organic PCMs, inorganic PCMs and eutectic PCMs according to inherent properties of the materials [5].…”

Synthesis of a Novel Nanoencapsulated n-Eicosane Phase Change Material with Inorganic Silica Shell Material for Enhanced Thermal Properties through Sol-Gel Route

“…The organic n-alkanes (paraffin waxes), fatty alcohols, fatty acids, neopentyl glycol, eutectic mixtures, and some inorganic substances like salt hydrates are most usually applied PCMs to the thermal regulating fiber and textiles, which have high phase change enthalpies between 150 and 240 J/g [7]. Especially paraffin waxes (n-alkanes), are one of the most promising organic PCMs, can be generally applied in textiles like garments and home furnishing products [8,9].…”

Easy and industrially applicable impregnation process for preparation of diatomite-based phase change material nanocomposites for thermal energy storage

“…Jeong et al (2013) prepared a composite paraffin-based PCM by blending composite paraffin and calcined diatomite through the fusion adsorption method. The phase-transition temperature and the latent heat of the composite PCMs were 33.04 C and 89.54 J/g, respectively [14]. Thermal energy storage cement-based composite (TESC) was developed by incorporating paraffin/diatomite composite PCM in Xu and Li (2013).…”
