[0020] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below, but it is not limited thereto. Any modification or equivalent replacement of the technical solution of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the present invention shall be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
[0021] The present invention provides a carbonized melamine sponge phase change energy storage material for efficiently improving supercooling degree. The phase change energy storage material is composed of a carbonized melamine sponge and a sodium chloride aqueous solution, and the specific preparation steps are as follows:
[0022] Step 1. Preparation and characterization of the carbonized melamine sponge: Using a muffle furnace, with a heating rate of 5°C / min, the temperature is raised to 200°C, 300°C, and 400°C respectively, and the melamine sponge is sintered at each temperature for 30, 60, 90, 120, and 150 minutes respectively to obtain 15 carbonized melamine sponges. The photograph of the sintered melamine sponge is as Figure 1 shown. Observe its microstructure by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), test the thermal conductivity of the carbonized melamine sponge by HOT-disk, test the mechanical properties of the carbonized melamine sponge, including tensile strength and compressive yield point pressure, measure the contact angle of the carbonized melamine sponge, evaluate its surface wettability, and the measurement results are as Figures 2 to 5As shown. The melamine sponge with the best performance is selected through the above characterizations to load the cold storage material. After testing, the melamine sponge sintered at 400 °C for 150 min has good thermal conductivity and mechanical properties, and the contact angle is 0°, meeting the requirements of subsequent experiments. In the present invention, the melamine sponge is purchased from Shangpin Tiancheng on JD.com (nano sponge magic wipe), with a porosity of over 95% and good loading capacity.
[0023] Step 2: Study on the characteristics of the sodium chloride aqueous solution:
[0024] Prepare five sodium chloride aqueous solutions with mass concentrations of 1%, 3%, 5%, 7%, and 10% respectively, and use differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to measure their phase change characteristics in the range of -35 °C to 15 °C respectively, obtaining the energy storage density and supercooling degree of the five sodium chloride aqueous solutions, as Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown.
[0025] Step 3: Preparation and performance testing of the composite phase change material:
[0026] Composite the carbonized melamine sponge and the sodium chloride aqueous solution according to the mass ratio in Table 1 (the maximum water absorption capacity of the carbonized melamine sponge after being put into the sodium chloride aqueous solution), and use DSC to test its phase change characteristics again, obtaining the energy storage density and supercooling degree of the five sodium chloride aqueous solutions, as Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown. From Figure 6 and Figure 7 it can be seen that the supercooling degree of the composite material is significantly reduced, while the energy storage density is significantly increased.
