[0030] This disclosure discloses a method for preparing a thermal storage body based on the synergy of an asymmetric dissipative structure and an electromagnetic field. The spiral skeleton, 3D printed from steel slag powder, possesses a multi-scale asymmetric dissipative structure, which significantly enhances radiative heat dissipation, reduces temperature gradients, and effectively suppresses internal and thermal stresses. By incorporating a ZrWO nanoribbon stress buffer layer on the outer wall of the spiral skeleton, significant shrinkage of the core layer due to latent heat recovery during phase change is avoided, further mitigating the destructive effects of thermal stress on the thermal storage body.

S3. Molten solid waste-based composite phase change material is injected into the spiral skeleton and placed on a vibration platform for uniform vibration for 30 minutes to obtain a solid waste-based high-temperature heat storage body. S4. The solid waste-based composite phase change material heat storage body obtained in S3 is placed in an alternating electromagnetic field for thermal stress suppression treatment.
