This invention relates to a method for preparing a core-shell structured Al-Zn@Al2O3 composite
phase change thermal
storage material, belonging to the technical field of medium- and high-temperature
phase change thermal storage materials. This invention involves adding an aluminum
powder suspension to an HCl solution and stirring at 45–65°C for 5–10 minutes.
Gelatin is then added, and the mixture is reacted at 45–65°C with stirring for 10–20 minutes to obtain solution A. NH4F solution is slowly added to solution A at 40–60°C with stirring, and the reaction continues for 30–60 minutes. A mixture of
zinc sulfate solution and
ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid is then added, and the mixture is reacted for 3–5 hours. After standing, the
solid and liquid are separated. The
solid is washed 3–5 times alternately with
anhydrous ethanol-water-
anhydrous ethanol and dried to obtain
solid B. Under a protective
atmosphere, solid B is uniformly heated to 600–660°C and calcined at high temperature for 2–4 hours to obtain aluminum-
zinc alloy powder. Under an
air atmosphere, the aluminum-
zinc alloy powder is uniformly heated to ~800°C and calcined at high temperature for 1–4 hours to obtain a core-shell structured Al-Zn@Al2O3 high-temperature
phase change heat storage material.
