Abstract
Form-stable phase change materials (FSPCMs) have limited applications in the field of thermal energy storage because of their relatively high costs and cumbersome encapsulation technologies. In this study, low-cost FSPCMs were created using a straightforward direct impregnation method by impregnating polyethylene glycol (PEG) into three-dimensional porous diamond cobalt metal organic framework (Co-MOF). The porous Co-MOF support material, with many intense H-bonding motifs, has the ability to trap and encapsulate PEG molecules in its crystal lattices, and keeps the form stable of PEG matrix without leakage even at 100 °C. Meanwhile, the three-dimensional diamond configuration of the Co-MOF can offer successive heat transfer paths, leading to the FSPCM composite (95.9 wt%) demonstrating high transition enthalpy (203.38 kJ/kg) with astonishing encapsulation efficiency and impregnation ratio of 96.00 % or 97.14 %, respectively. Additionally, FSPCM reveals outstanding high durability with only slight alterations in temperature of phase transition and value of latent heat even after 30 heating/cooling cycles.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Molecular Structure is dedicated to the publication of full-length articles and review papers, providing important new structural information on all types of chemical species including:
• Stable and unstable molecules in all types of environments (vapour, molecular beam, liquid, solution, liquid crystal, solid state, matrix-isolated, surface-absorbed etc.)
• Chemical intermediates
• Molecules in excited states
• Biological molecules
• Polymers.
The methods used may include any combination of spectroscopic and non-spectroscopic techniques, for example:
• Infrared spectroscopy (mid, far, near)
• Raman spectroscopy and non-linear Raman methods (CARS, etc.)
• Electronic absorption spectroscopy
• Optical rotatory dispersion and circular dichroism
• Fluorescence and phosphorescence techniques
• Electron spectroscopies (PES, XPS), EXAFS, etc.
• Microwave spectroscopy
• Electron diffraction
• NMR and ESR spectroscopies
• Mössbauer spectroscopy
• X-ray crystallography
• Charge Density Analyses
• Computational Studies (supplementing experimental methods)
We encourage publications combining theoretical and experimental approaches. The structural insights gained by the studies should be correlated with the properties, activity and/ or reactivity of the molecule under investigation and the relevance of this molecule and its implications should be discussed.
