Abstract

Metallic materials for energy storage offer promising prospects for elevating energy conservation and efficiency. In this study, we successfully synthesized the AlSi alloy particles with different silicon contents as metallic phase-change materials for high-temperature thermal energy storage by pulsated orifice ejection method (POEM). These particles were crucial to enhancing thermal storage performance, due to their smooth and dense surfaces, narrow particle size distributions, high sphericities, high purities, and uniform and fine-grained microstructures. They exhibited excellent thermal stability, high thermal conductivity, and high latent heat capacity. The melting enthalpy of the particles could reach a maximum of 505.41 J·g⁻¹. And the corresponding solidification enthalpy was 519.18 J·g⁻¹. Notably, the particles maintained high energy storage density and strong structural stability over multiple thermal cycles. The POEM-prepared particles demonstrate a significant potential in the field of phase-change energy storage, thus leading to substantial advantages in practical applications.

期刊介绍： Materials Characterization features original articles and state-of-the-art reviews on theoretical and practical aspects of the structure and behaviour of materials. The Journal focuses on all characterization techniques, including all forms of microscopy (light, electron, acoustic, etc.,) and analysis (especially microanalysis and surface analytical techniques). Developments in both this wide range of techniques and their application to the quantification of the microstructure of materials are essential facets of the Journal. The Journal provides the Materials Scientist/Engineer with up-to-date information on many types of materials with an underlying theme of explaining the behavior of materials using novel approaches. Materials covered by the journal include: Metals & Alloys Ceramics Nanomaterials Biomedical materials Optical materials Composites Natural Materials.
