TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to the technical field of molten salt heat storage materials, in particular to a molten salt heat storage material based on lithium nitrate and polyvinylidene fluoride hybrid zeolite imidazolate framework structure and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] The molten salt heat storage material using molten salt substances for heat energy storage realizes efficient storage and release of heat energy through a cycle process of heat absorption, heat storage and heat release. In the field of energy, especially in the application of medium and high temperature heat storage, the material plays a crucial role. Although the molten salt heat storage materials on the market have good thermal stability and low cost, they mainly depend on alkali metal / alkaline earth metal salts, and have problems of high melting point and insufficient specific heat capacity.
[0003] The specific heat capacity of the current commercial molten salt heat storage material is not high, and even after multi-component compounding, the specific heat capacity is only 1.8 J / (g oC), which still cannot meet the requirement of the specific heat capacity of heat transfer fluid of solar thermal power generation of more than 2.25 J / (g oC), resulting in a large volume and low energy efficiency of the heat storage system.
[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the prior art compensates for the above problems by increasing the amount of alkali metal / alkaline earth metal salt or multi-component compounding, but the excessive addition of lithium ions and calcium ions in the prior art will increase the viscosity of the molten salt by 20%-30%, significantly reduce the flowability, increase the pumping energy consumption, and the single inorganic ion modification is difficult to synergistically optimize the melting point, specific heat capacity, thermal conductivity and other parameters, and the comprehensive performance of the material is limited. How to provide a molten salt heat storage material with low melting point and high specific heat capacity has become a technical problem to be solved in the field. SUMMARY
[0005] The purpose of the present application is to solve the technical defects of the prior art, such as low specific heat capacity of molten salt heat storage material, large volume of heat storage system and low energy efficiency, and to provide a molten salt heat storage material based on lithium nitrate and polyvinylidene fluoride hybrid zeolite imidazolate framework structure and a preparation method thereof.
[0006] The technical scheme adopted to achieve the purpose of the present application is as follows: A molten salt heat storage material based on lithium nitrate and polyvinylidene fluoride hybrid zeolite imidazolate framework structure, comprising the following components in mass fraction: 20-35 parts of sodium nitrate, 25-40 parts of potassium nitrate, 10-20 parts of lithium nitrate, 10-25 parts of calcium nitrate and 0.5-2 parts of polyvinylidene fluoride hybrid zeolite imidazolate framework structure material; The polyvinylidene fluoride hybrid zeolite imidazolate framework structure material is prepared by the following steps: Step 1, after stirring, zinc nitrate solution is added to 2-methyl imidazole solution, and then crystallization reaction is carried out by standing, washing and drying, to obtain a zeolite imidazolate framework material; Step 2, after mixing the zeolite imidazolate framework material, polyvinylidene fluoride and dimethylformamide, drying is carried out to obtain a polyvinylidene fluoride hybrid zeolite imidazolate framework material.

[0011] In the above technical solution, in step 2, the mixing is carried out under stirring, the stirring speed is 500-1000 r / min, the time is 6-10 h, and the temperature is 60-80℃; the drying temperature is 25-35℃, and the time is 10-20 h.
[0012] Another aspect of the present application also includes a preparation method of a molten salt heat storage material based on lithium nitrate and polyvinylidene fluoride hybrid zeolite imidazolate framework, comprising the following steps: Step S1, after mixing sodium nitrate, potassium nitrate, lithium nitrate and calcium nitrate, dissolving in deionized water to form an inorganic molten salt solution; Step S2, after mixing the inorganic molten salt solution and the polyvinylidene fluoride hybrid zeolite imidazolate framework material, drying is carried out to obtain a mixed powder; Step S3, the mixed powder is heated to melt, and after cooling, a molten salt heat storage material is obtained.
[0013] The preparation method provided by the application realizes the molecular-level uniform mixing of various nitrate salts by using water as a solvent, avoids the component segregation caused by traditional mechanical mixing, and meanwhile, Ca²⁺ dissociated from calcium nitrate in the aqueous solution can form a pre-coordination structure with lithium nitrate; the inorganic molten salt solution, the antioxidant and the polyvinylidene hybrid zeolite imidazolate framework material are uniformly distributed in the molten salt matrix by the solution dispersion method, so that the chemical stability and dispersion uniformity of the mixed powder are improved.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the application has the following beneficial effects: 1. The lithium nitrate destroys the lattice order arrangement due to the small ionic radius, cooperates with the calcium nitrate to regulate the eutectic system, significantly reduces the melting point of the molten salt, and the sodium nitrate and the potassium nitrate form a basic framework to ensure the stability of the system at medium and high temperatures; the polyvinylidene hybrid zeolite imidazolate framework material enhances the adsorption and coordination of the molten salt ions through the high specific surface area and porous structure of the zeolite imidazolate framework, and the polyvinylidene improves the interfacial compatibility of the molten salt through the flexible network of the polymer chain, thereby avoiding the agglomeration problem of the traditional nanofiller, and forming a ternary synergistic system of "low melting point-high heat storage-strong stability".
