Abstract:
The organic phase change energy storage materials have high phase change latent heat, stable chemical properties, no supercooling and phase separation. Through thermodynamic analysis of decanoic acid, methyl laurate, 1 decanol, lauric acid and tetradecane, and compounding them in pairs, three binary organic compounds of decanoic acid-methyl laurate (molar ratio 30∶70), decanoic acid-1 decanol (molar ratio 36∶64), and lauric acid-tetradecane (molar ratio 21∶79) were obtained. Their phase transition temperature is all between 0-5℃ and corresponding latent heats of phase transition are higher. A kind of phase change energy storage material suitable for fruit packaging and logistics was acquired through the adsorption performance of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) gel on binary organic compound, moreover the adding of polyethylene glycol 1000 (PEG1000) porogen during the gel preparation process can effectively improve the swelling ratio of the gel in the binary organic compound. The results show that, the phase change temperature of PNIPAM-40%PEG1000/decanoic acid-methyl laurate phase change energy storage material is 3.2℃, and the latent heat of phase change is 188.10 J/g, and the phase change temperature of PNIPAM-40%PEG1000/decanoic, acid-1 decanol phase change energy storage material is 1.2℃, and the latent heat of phase change is 177.74 J/g. The phase change temperature of PNIPAM-40%PEG1000/lauric acid-tetradecane phase change energy storage material is 4.2℃, and the latent heat of phase change is 206.17 J/g.
