Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of latent heat energy storage, and in particular to an organic-inorganic composite shell phase change microcapsule and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In order to improve the utilization efficiency of thermal energy, thermal energy storage technology has been widely developed, including sensible heat storage, latent heat storage and reversible thermochemical reactions. Among them, latent heat storage based on phase change materials (PCMs) is very attractive because of its high energy storage density, simple operation, and ability to solve the contradiction between energy supply and demand in time and space. Solid-liquid PCMs have outstanding advantages such as low density, large energy storage capacity, good chemical stability, and suitable phase change temperature, and are widely used. However, solid-liquid PCMs have problems of low thermal conductivity and easy leakage in practical applications, which limits the application of latent heat storage systems in various fields.

[0003] In order to solve the above bottlenecks, researchers have used various encapsulation methods to encapsulate these materials to construct shape-stable PCMs. The most popular method is to use microencapsulation technology to encapsulate PCMs in shell materials to form phase change microcapsules. These microcapsules can be made of various shell materials, including organic, inorganic and composite shell materials. However, it is worth noting that organic shell phase change microcapsules have high chemical stability and excellent corrosion resistance, but their thermal conductivity is generally poor, while phase change microcapsules with inorganic material shells are brittle and prone to leakage. Organic-inorganic composite shell phase change microcapsules can combine the advantages of organic shells and inorganic shells, improving the thermal conductivity of microcapsules while improving their chemical stability.

[0004] At present, melamine formaldehyde resin, urea formaldehyde resin and polymethyl methacrylate are the most reported and widely used microcapsule organic shell materials. However, the small molecules (such as formaldehyde, acrylate, etc.) remaining in the reaction process of the above resins will pose a serious threat to the environment and human health. In contrast, the preparation process of polyurethane does not produce harmful small molecules, and the prepared phase change microcapsules have good application prospects, especially the initial reaction rate of diisocyanate and polyol is relatively low. The mechanical properties of phase change microcapsules can be improved by adjusting the structure of polyurethane.

[0005] Titanium dioxide has the characteristics of low cost, non-toxicity, high thermal conductivity, high chemical stability and high thermal stability. It is also an excellent ultraviolet absorbing material, which can effectively improve the application value of phase change materials. It can not only assist in the shaping of phase change materials, but also solve the problem of poor thermal conductivity of phase change materials.

[0006] Therefore, the present invention provides a novel organic-inorganic composite shell phase change microcapsule and a preparation method thereof, a preparation process of a composite shell phase change microcapsule of titanium dioxide and polyurethane, which can effectively combine the advantages of an organic shell with the advantages of an inorganic shell, significantly improve the thermal conductivity and thermal stability of the microcapsule, and broaden the application scope of the phase change microcapsule, which is of great significance for promoting the green development of phase change material microcapsule technology. Summary of the invention

[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an organic-inorganic composite shell phase change microcapsule and a preparation method thereof, so as to solve the technical problems in the prior art that the organic shell of the phase change microcapsule has poor thermal conductivity and the inorganic shell has poor thermal stability.

[0008] The purpose of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0009] A method for preparing an organic-inorganic composite shell phase change microcapsule comprises the following steps:

[0010] (1) Preparation of oil-in-water (O / W) emulsion: At room temperature, in a beaker, 4-4.2 g of isophorone diisocyanate was dissolved in 15 g of n-hexadecane to obtain a dispersed phase. In a centrifuge tube, 0.54-0.56 g of the emulsifier sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate was dissolved in 4 g of deionized water to obtain a continuous phase. The dispersed phase was added dropwise to the continuous phase at a homogenizing shear rate of 8000 rpm for emulsification. The emulsification was performed for 5 min until a completely uniform and viscous O / W emulsion was formed.

[0011] (2) Synthesis of organic shell pre-microcapsules: Weigh 1.6 g of triethanolamine and dissolve it in an equal amount of deionized water. Slowly add the obtained triethanolamine aqueous solution dropwise into the water-in-oil emulsion. Stir for 30 min at 60°C and 600 rpm for mechanical stirring to cause interfacial polymerization. Place the centrifuge tube in an oven at 50-70°C for 12-20 h. Wash the obtained product with anhydrous ethanol and deionized water, filter, and dry for 12 h to obtain white powdery organic shell pre-microcapsules.

[0012] (3) Preparation of organic-inorganic composite shell phase change microcapsules: Pre-microcapsules were dispersed in 30 ml of deionized water in a beaker to obtain a pre-microcapsule suspension, to which 40 ml of ammonium fluorotitanate solution and 100 ml of boric acid solution were added, and the suspension was reacted at 35-65 °C for 4-6 h. A primary product was obtained through hydrolysis reaction and precipitation. The primary product was washed with deionized water for 3-5 times, filtered, and dried in an oven at 50 °C for 22-26 h to obtain the organic-inorganic composite shell phase change microcapsules.

[0013] The present application also provides an organic-inorganic composite shell phase-change microcapsule, which is prepared by the above-mentioned method for preparing the organic-inorganic composite shell phase-change microcapsule.

The preparation method comprises the following steps: (1) Preparation of oil-in-water emulsion: At room temperature, in a beaker, 4-4.2 g of isophorone diisocyanate was dissolved in 15 g of n-hexadecane to obtain a dispersed phase, and 0.54-0.56 g of an emulsifier, sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate, was dissolved in 4 g of deionized water in a centrifuge tube to obtain a continuous phase. The dispersed phase was added dropwise to the continuous phase at a homogenizing shear rate of 8000 rpm for emulsification for 5 min until a completely uniform and viscous oil-in-water emulsion was formed; (2) Synthesis of organic shell pre-microcapsules: 1.6 g of triethanolamine was weighed and dissolved in an equal amount of deionized water. The obtained triethanolamine aqueous solution was slowly added dropwise to the water-in-oil emulsion. The mixture was stirred at 60° C. and 600 rpm for 30 min to cause interfacial polymerization. The centrifuge tube was placed in an oven and polymerized at 50-70° C. for 12-20 h. The obtained product was washed with anhydrous ethanol and deionized water, filtered, and dried for 12 h to obtain white powdery organic shell pre-microcapsules. (3) Preparation of organic-inorganic composite shell phase change microcapsules: Pre-microcapsules are dispersed in 30 ml of deionized water in a beaker to obtain a pre-microcapsule suspension, to which 40 ml of ammonium fluorotitanate solution and 100 ml of boric acid solution are added, and the suspension is reacted at 35-65° C. for 4-6 hours. A primary product is obtained through hydrolysis reaction and precipitation. The primary product is washed with deionized water for 3-5 times, filtered, and dried in an oven at 50° C. for 22-26 hours to obtain the organic-inorganic composite shell phase change microcapsules.
