Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of phase change material thermal storage technology, specifically relating to a cocoon-type aminated multi-walled carbon nanotube-paraffin photothermal conversion phase change composite material and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] With the proposal of the "zero carbon" goal, sustainable development has gradually become a global consensus, and renewable energy is gradually replacing most fossil fuels. New renewable energy sources, represented by solar energy, are widely considered the most important renewable energy source due to their significant advantages of being inexhaustible. However, the spatiotemporal mismatch problem of solar energy limits its development. Phase change materials, which can store and release large amounts of heat energy during phase change, are considered ideal materials for solar thermal conversion and heat storage.

[0003] Phase change materials (PCMs), as energy storage media, can store or release large amounts of energy at near-constant temperatures during melting or solidification, achieving efficient energy utilization and thus reducing CO2 emissions. Common organic PCMs, such as paraffin wax (PW), polyethylene glycol (PEG), and fatty acids, are white substances. When sunlight shines on PCMs, light waves are reflected, resulting in poor sunlight capture capabilities. Therefore, photothermal conversion materials can be introduced into the field of phase change energy storage. Photothermal conversion materials are materials that can convert light energy into heat energy through their own photothermal conversion mechanism under illumination. The photon capture capability and the design and thermophysical properties of the heat storage material affect the photothermal conversion performance. Combining photothermal conversion materials with phase change materials allows the solar heat absorbed by the photothermal conversion materials to be stored in the phase change materials, achieving comprehensive performance such as high heat storage capacity, excellent photothermal conversion performance, and good thermal conductivity.

[0004] However, the flammability, volume expansion, leakage, compatibility, poor thermal conductivity, and poor photothermal conversion performance of phase change materials (PCMs) during the phase change process are the main problems hindering their development. Extensive research has focused primarily on novel shape-stable PCM (SS-PCM) composite PCMs. There are many composite methods for PCM thermal storage materials, commonly including blending, impregnation, micro / nanocapsule methods, sol-gel methods, porous adsorption methods, and intercalation methods.

[0005] Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are widely used in photothermal conversion due to their excellent photothermal conversion performance and high thermal conductivity. Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have thermal conductivity of approximately 3000 W / (m·K) and 2000 W / (m·K), respectively. Adding carbon nanotubes to paraffin wax can form nano-reinforced heat transfer phase change materials with excellent heat transfer performance and good stability. However, contact thermal resistance exists between carbon nanotubes and between carbon nanotubes and paraffin wax, often leading to problems such as poor dispersibility and low stability during application, which limits their practical application in phase change energy storage.

[0006] Chen et al. (Electro-and photodriven phase change composites based on wax-infiltrated carbon nanotube sponges, ACS NANO, 2012, 6, 12, 10884-10892) disclosed an electrothermal and photothermal phase change composite material based on paraffin impregnation in porous, formable sponge-like carbon nanotubes. The material was prepared through the following steps: first, carbon nanotubes were deposited as sponges using chemical vapor deposition. These sponges were collected after forming on the inner wall of a reactor and then cut into rectangular blocks. Paraffin was dissolved in dichloromethane to obtain a solution with a concentration of 0.03 g / mL. The paraffin solution was then dropped onto the rectangular carbon nanotube sponges, where it was quickly absorbed. The solution was then placed in a low-pressure environment to evaporate the solvent, forming a dense, solid PW-CNTs phase change composite material with significant volume shrinkage. Although the above preparation methods can produce shape-stable phase change composite materials, the cost of obtaining sponge-like carbon nanotubes is high, the preparation process is difficult to control, and the formation of bulk PW-CNTs phase change composite materials is not conducive to application.

[0028] Figure 5 The image shows the 50-cycle DSC thermal cycling diagram of the phase change composite material prepared in Example 2 of this invention. Detailed Implementation

[0029] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0030] This invention provides a cocoon-type aminated multi-walled carbon nanotube-paraffin photothermal conversion phase change composite material, the specific process of which is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0031] Step 1: Dissolve aminated multi-walled carbon nanotubes in deionized water and disperse by ultrasonication to obtain an aqueous solution of aminated multi-walled carbon nanotubes.

[0032] In this step, the aminated multi-walled carbon nanotubes used in this invention are modified by amylating carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes with diamines, including but not limited to ethylenediamine, hexamethylenediamine, and decanediamine.

[0033] Taking the amination modification of carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes with ethylenediamine as an example, the amination multi-walled carbon nanotubes used in this invention can be prepared by the following steps: carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs-COOH), condensing agent DCC, and ethylenediamine (EDA) are ultrasonically mixed for 30 min, and then heated in an oil bath at 120°C for 24 h; after the reaction is completed, excess amine, DCC, and byproducts of the DCC reaction are ultrasonically washed away with anhydrous ethanol, filtered with a PTFE filter membrane, and the filtered carbon nanotubes are vacuum dried at 60°C for 24 h to obtain amination carbon nanotubes.

[0034] The chemical reaction formula between MWCNTs-COOH and EDA is:

[0035] MWCNTs-COOH+NH2-CH2-CH2-NH2→MWCNT-CO-NH-CH2-CH2-NH2

[0036] The prepared aminated carbon nanotubes have amino groups in their molecular formula that can covalently bond with many chemical substances through amination reactions, while the unique structure of the carbon nanotubes remains intact, preserving their excellent properties. The amino groups also improve the hydrophilicity and polarity of the carbon nanotube surface, thereby enhancing their dispersibility and solubility, and giving them high reactivity, allowing them to bond with various metal ions and polymers via amide bonds. In this invention, aminated multi-walled carbon nanotubes are directly mixed with molten phase change material. The amino groups on the aminated multi-walled carbon nanotubes can firmly bond with the phase change material. Ultrasonic dispersion and high-speed stirring further help the aminated multi-walled carbon nanotubes to be more completely and stably encapsulated on the surface of the phase change monomer, forming a shape-stable cocoon-shaped phase change composite material.

[0037] In this step, the mass ratio of aminated multi-walled carbon nanotubes to deionized water is 1:(100-200), and the mixture is ultrasonically dispersed for 1-2 hours to obtain an aqueous solution of aminated multi-walled carbon nanotubes.

[0038] Step 2: Melt the phase change material into a liquid at the melting temperature.

[0039] In this step, the phase change materials used in this invention include, but are not limited to, monohydric alcohol phase change materials, straight-chain alkane phase change materials, and fatty acid phase change materials. The monohydric alcohol phase change materials include, but are not limited to, dodecanol, tridecanol, tetradecanol, pentadecyl alcohol, and hexadecyl alcohol. The straight-chain alkane phase change materials include, but are not limited to, paraffin wax, n-pentadecane, n-hexadecane, n-heptadecane, n-octadecane, n-nonadecane, and n-eicosane. The fatty acid phase change materials include, but are not limited to, palmitic acid, stearic acid, lauric acid, myristic acid, and palmitic acid. In this embodiment of the invention, paraffin wax is used as an example, with a melting temperature of 60-80°C.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present invention, two or more phase change materials may be used as the core material of the microcapsule phase change material, such as a mixture of n-octadecane and n-tetracosane, all of which are within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0041] Step 3: At the same temperature, add the molten phase change material to the aqueous solution of aminated multi-walled carbon nanotubes and stir at high speed.

[0042] In this step, the mixing temperature should not be lower than the melting temperature of the phase change material, for example, it can be 70-100℃. The volume ratio of the molten phase change material to the aqueous solution of aminated multi-walled carbon nanotubes can be 1:(20-60). The stirring speed of the high-speed stirring can be 14000-18000 rpm and the stirring time can be 5-10 min.

[0043] Step 4: After the reaction is complete, the mixture is filtered, washed, and dried to obtain a cocoon-type aminated multi-walled carbon nanotube-paraffin photothermal conversion phase change composite material.

[0044] Specifically, in this step: after the reaction is completed, the obtained sample is filtered, washed with deionized water at 70°C and hot ethanol at 70°C respectively, and the obtained product is placed in an oven at 60-80°C and dried to constant weight.

[0045] The cocoon-shaped aminated multi-walled carbon nanotube-paraffin photothermal conversion phase change composite material prepared by the method of this invention can simultaneously exhibit the phase change properties of the phase change monomer and the excellent photothermal conversion properties and high thermal conductivity of the aminated carbon nanotube. Furthermore, it can produce stable-shaped cocoon-shaped granular phase change composite materials (such as...) with randomly wound aminated multi-walled carbon nanotubes as the coating wire and a phase change material as the core filler. Figure 4 As shown in a), the particle size is in the micrometer range of 1-50 μm, and further, the particle size can be reduced to 1-25 μm. The preparation process of the present invention realizes a phase change composite material with a smaller particle size and a larger specific surface area. In the cocoon-shaped phase change composite material, the mass ratio of aminated multi-walled carbon nanotubes to phase change material is 1:(2-6), more preferably 1:(3-5). The obtained phase change composite material improves thermal conductivity, increases heat transfer area, has better cycle performance, higher thermal conductivity, and better thermal stability. Moreover, the particulate phase change composite material is more convenient to use, the preparation process is simple, and it is easy to promote and apply.

[0046] The cocoon-type aminated multi-walled carbon nanotube-paraffin photothermal conversion phase change composite material provided by this invention has important application prospects in many fields such as solar energy utilization, intelligent temperature control, heat dissipation of electronic devices and energy storage.
