Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of energy storage materials, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a long-acting heat storage controllable heat release phase change material. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the development of industry, people's demand for energy is gradually increasing, however, the mismatch of time and space of existing energy utilization technology limits the energy utilization efficiency. The phase change material (PCM) for the phase change heat storage technology of heat storage medium is considered to be an effective method to solve the time and space mismatch of intermittent renewable energy in supply and demand, which can greatly improve the energy utilization rate. The PCM applied to the phase change heat storage should have high phase change latent heat, good phase change dynamics and as small volume change as possible. Therefore, the solid-liquid PCM is the most studied PCM at present. However, the solid-liquid PCM will repeatedly present a liquid state in the use process, which brings potential leakage risk. Therefore, the form-stable phase change material (FPCM) emerges as the times require. The FPCM is formed by adsorbing the solid-liquid PCM in a porous support material. It has the advantages of wide source of support material, large phase change latent heat and easy incorporation of various functional fillers, thereby becoming a research hotspot of phase change materials in recent years.

[0003] Among the reported PCMs, sugar alcohol PCMs are highly concerned due to their extremely high phase change latent heat. The melting temperature of the sugar alcohol PCMs is higher than room temperature, so good heat preservation measures are needed to avoid the loss of latent heat. However, the crystallization process of the molten sugar alcohol is usually accompanied by obvious supercooling phenomenon, which provides the possibility of keeping the molten state of the sugar alcohol PCMs at room temperature at low cost and avoiding the loss of latent heat, and thus generates a new type of PCM, namely, the "spatiotemporal phase change material (SPCM)". However, supercooling as a common physical and chemical phenomenon is not stable and is affected by many factors. Therefore, how to maintain the sugar alcohol PCMs in a molten state at room temperature and effectively and controllably induce the crystallization of the supercooled molten sugar alcohol to realize controllable heat release is the key to the development and application of SPCM.

[0004] In view of this, the application is provided. SUMMARY
