The invention belongs to the technical field of
energy storage materials, and particularly relates to a
phase change energy storage material and a preparation method thereof.The
phase change energy storage material is prepared from 8-12 parts of
phase change wax, 10-15 parts of ZnAl-LDH, 6-9 parts of SiC-CuS and 8 parts of
polyethylene glycol
dimethyl ether; according to the invention, the double-
metal hydroxide and the phase-change
wax are combined, interlayer water molecules and ionic bonds of the double-
metal hydroxide can realize reversible phase change, the phase-change
wax can be supported to reduce high-temperature flowing, the phase-change wax makes up for insufficient
latent heat and improves energy storage capacity, and the combination of the double-
metal hydroxide and the phase-change wax widens the phase-
change temperature range and enhances cycle stability; in addition, Si-C loaded CuS nanosheets are introduced, energy can be transmitted under illumination or
heat energy to assist storage, the smaller the size of the nanosheets is, the larger the specific surface area is, more active sites can be provided, the heat conduction efficiency is improved,
complementation of all advantages of the material is achieved through a simple method, and good comprehensive performance is achieved.
