多壁碳纳米管/肉豆蔻酸定型复合相变材料的制备及改性

Preparation and modification of multiwalled carbon nanotubes/myristic acid shape-stabilized composite phase change materials

  • 摘要: 肉豆蔻酸(Myristic Acid,MA)作为热能储存材料,存在热导率低、易泄漏问题,其在光-热转换过程中效率也较低。实验以MA为相变主材,多壁碳纳米管(MWCNT)为封装载体,Fe3O4和Al2O3为改性添加剂,采用熔融共混法制备多种定型复合相变材料,系统性测试材料泄漏率、热导率、热稳定性、相变潜热、蓄-放热速率以及光-热转换性能。结果表明,随MWCNT、Fe3O4和Al2O3含量的增加,泄漏率降低,添加22%的MWCNT时,泄漏率为0.38%,继续添加1%~5%的Fe3O4或Al2O3,泄漏率再次降低;泄漏率随循环次数增加线性增大,经过50次循环,泄漏率低于5.55%。MWCNT-22%/MA热导率为0.61 W·m−1·K−1,是纯MA的217.86%,而添加5%的Fe3O4或Al2O3,热导率则提升10%左右。添加MWCNT、Fe3O4和Al2O3,材料表面温度分布均匀,蓄热速率增大,放热速率减小,与MWCNT-22%/MA相比,添加5%的Fe3O4或Al2O3后,蓄热速率提高约70%,放热速率下降约16%。MWCNT、Fe3O4和Al2O3的加入,使相变潜热和MA负载量下降,但熔融潜热保持在139.03~148.45 J·g−1之间。在1.4 kW·m−2光照强度下,最高温度达65℃,光-热转换效率超过60%。添加Fe3O4改性,对MWCNT/MA复合材料的蓄热性能以及光-热转换性能的改善更加优异,为其实际应用提供技术支撑与研究依据。

     

    Abstract: Myristic Acid (MA), as a thermal energy storage material, suffers from low thermal conductivity, leakage tendency, and poor photothermal conversion efficiency. In this study, MA was used as the primary phase change material, with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as the encapsulation matrix, and Fe3O4 and Al2O3 as modifying additives. A series of shape-stabilized composite phase change materials were prepared by melt blending, and their leakage rate, thermal conductivity, thermal stability, latent heat, heat storage/release rates, and photo-thermal conversion performance were systematically evaluated. The results show that increasing the content of MWCNTs, Fe3O4, and Al2O3 effectively reduced the leakage rate. At 22% MWCNT content, the leakage rate was 0.38%, and further addition of 1%–5% Fe3O4 or Al2O3 further decreased leakage. The leakage rate increased linearly with the number of thermal cycles, remaining below 5.55% after 50 cycles. The thermal conductivity of MWCNT-22%/MA reached 0.61 W·m1·K1, which is 217.86% that of pure MA, while the addition of 5% Fe3O4 or Al2O3 further increased it by approximately 10%. The incorporation of MWCNTs, Fe3O4, and Al2O3 resulted in a uniform surface temperature distribution, enhanced heat storage rates, and reduced heat release rates. Compared with MWCNT-22%/MA, the addition of 5% Fe3O4 or Al2O3 increased the heat storage rate by about 70% and decreased the heat release rate by about 16%. Although the latent heat and MA loading decreased slightly, the melting latent heat remained in the range of 139.03–148.45 J·g−1. Under an irradiation intensity of 1.4 kW·m−2, the maximum temperature reached 65℃, with a photo-thermal conversion efficiency exceeding 60%. Notably, Fe3O4 modification demonstrated superior enhancement in both heat storage and photo-thermal conversion performance of the MWCNT/MA composites, providing valuable technical support and research insights for their practical applications.
