Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a phase change material, its preparation method, and its application, specifically to a shaped phase change thermal management material, its preparation method, and its application, belonging to the field of functional composite materials. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of microelectronics technology, the integration level of electronic devices is constantly increasing, their size is gradually decreasing, while their power density is increasing significantly. This trend leads to electronic components generating a large amount of heat during operation. If this heat cannot be dissipated in a timely and effective manner, the device temperature will rise, affecting its normal operation and lifespan. Research reports indicate that once the temperature of electronic components rises to a certain threshold, their failure rate increases exponentially. Therefore, thermal management has become a crucial issue that must be addressed in the design and application of electronic components.

[0003] Phase change materials (PCMs) are used in the thermal management of electronic components due to their high energy density and ability to absorb large amounts of heat during phase change. However, most PCMs have relatively low thermal conductivity; for example, pure paraffin has a thermal conductivity of approximately 0.2 W / m·K. This results in low heat transfer efficiency in electronic component thermal management systems, and some PCMs may not be able to fully utilize their heat absorption capacity, thus affecting the thermal management effect. A common solution is to design various structural forms of phase change thermal management modules, such as PCM heat sinks, heat pipes, and fluid loops, to improve thermal management efficiency. However, this strategy may lead to problems such as structural complexity, increased weight, and higher costs. In contrast, improving the thermal conductivity of composite PCMs by adding fillers with high thermal conductivity (such as metal particles, carbon fibers, carbon nanotubes, and graphene) shows greater promise. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, in order to improve the thermal management efficiency of electronic components, this invention provides a shaped phase change thermal management material, its preparation method and application. The prepared phase change thermal management material has the advantages of excellent thermal conductivity and heat storage properties, good adaptability and operability, long-lasting stability and reliability, wide application range and reusability, providing a new idea for the development of high-performance phase change thermal management materials.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A method for preparing a shaped phase change heat management material, comprising the following steps:

[0007] (1) Take the white part of fresh grapefruit peel and pre-treat it with alkalization and hydrothermal treatment, and freeze-dry it for the first time to obtain Pre-PP;

[0008] (2) Pre-PP was immersed in a methanol solution of cobalt nitrate hexahydrate and dimethylimidazole for in-situ growth. After washing and a second freeze-drying, Pre-PP@ZIF-67 was obtained.

[0009] (3) Pre-PP@ZIF-67 was calcined at high temperature in an inert atmosphere to obtain a highly graphitized heterocarbon material. During the high-temperature calcination process, under the efficient catalytic effect of Co nanoparticles, the Pre-PP skeleton was transformed into a graphene-like high thermal conductivity carbon skeleton, and the organic ligands of ZIF-67 were transformed into highly graphitized thermal conductivity carbon material. The two carbon materials worked together to achieve efficient heat conduction, and the encapsulated phase change material achieved efficient heat storage. The two worked together to achieve efficient thermal management of electronic components, which can quickly dissipate heat and avoid irreversible damage to electronic components caused by short-term thermal shock.

[0010] (4) The highly graphitized heterogeneous carbon material is dispersed in a solution containing phase change material, heated and stirred, and then dried to obtain a shaped phase change heat management material.

[0011] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention has the following further limitations:

[0012] Furthermore, the alkalization pretreatment method in step (1) is to soak the white part of the fresh grapefruit peel in an alkaline solution at 80°C for 2-4 hours, and then wash it with deionized water until it is neutral.

[0013] The hydrothermal pretreatment method involves reacting the white part of the washed, alkalized grapefruit peel with hydrothermal heat at 160–180°C for 8–12 hours.

[0014] The first freeze-drying temperature is -50 to -65℃, and the time is 8 to 15 hours.

[0015] Preferably, the concentration of the sodium hydroxide solution is 2 mol / L;

[0016] The mass ratio of the white part of the grapefruit peel to the sodium hydroxide solution is 1:10 to 100.

[0017] Furthermore, the in-situ growth operation in step (2) involves immersing Pre-PP in the solution and mechanically stirring for 15-20 hours, followed by washing with methanol and deionized water 3-5 times.

[0018] The second freeze-drying temperature is -50 to -65℃, and the time is 8 to 15 hours.

[0019] Furthermore, the mass ratio of Pre-PP, cobalt nitrate hexahydrate, dimethylimidazole, and methanol is 1:1~2:3~6:140~200;

[0020] Furthermore, in step (3), the high-temperature calcination temperature is 800-1000℃, the time is 3-6h, and the heating rate is 2-10℃ / min;

[0021] The inert atmosphere is either nitrogen or argon.

[0022] Furthermore, in step (4), the heating and stirring temperature is 60-80℃, and the time is 1-3 hours;

[0023] Drying is carried out at 80-100℃ with forced air for 8-15 hours.

[0024] Furthermore, the solution containing the phase change material is an alcohol solution or a hexane solution of any one of polyols, fatty acids, and alkanes.

[0025] The loading of highly graphitized heterocarbon materials is 50–75 wt.%.

[0026] The present invention also provides a shaped phase change thermal management material prepared by the above preparation method.

[0027] The present invention also provides the application of the above-mentioned shaped phase change thermal management material or the shaped phase change thermal management material prepared by the above-mentioned preparation method as a thermal management material in high-power electronic components.

[0028] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0029] (1) During the calcination process, due to the efficient catalytic effect of Co nanoparticles, the Pre-PP skeleton is transformed into a graphene-like high thermal conductivity carbon skeleton, and the organic ligand of ZIF-67 is transformed into a highly graphitized thermal conductivity carbon material. The two carbon materials work together to achieve efficient heat conduction, and the encapsulated phase change material achieves efficient heat storage.

[0030] (2) The phase change thermal management material of the present invention achieves efficient thermal management of electronic components through the synergistic effect of high thermal conductivity and high thermal storage, which can quickly dissipate heat and avoid irreversible damage to electronic components caused by short-term thermal shock.

[0031] (3) High thermal conductivity: It can change from solid to liquid or semi-liquid when the temperature rises, effectively filling tiny gaps, quickly conducting heat and reducing thermal resistance.

[0032] (4) High heat storage performance: It can effectively absorb a large amount of heat generated by high-power devices in a short time and cannot dissipate it in time, thereby avoiding irreversible damage caused by overheating.

[0033] (5) Good adaptability and operability, easy to install and use; long-lasting stability and high reliability, not easy to age or fail after long-term use, and will not produce "inflating" effect.

[0034] (6) It is widely used in various high-power heating components, can be reused, reduces maintenance costs, and does not produce glue overflow during use. Attached Figure Description
