The invention relates to a composite phase-change material in which
calcium chloride hexahydrate is encapsulated by a
calcium-based
metal-organic framework and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the field of phase-change materials. The
composite phase change material of the present invention is composed of 65%-90% inorganic
hydrate salt
phase change material-
calcium chloride hexahydrate and 10%-35% calcium-based
metal organic framework. The feature of the present invention is that
calcium chloride hexahydrate is confined in the nano-scale pores of the
metal-organic framework, and the calcium
chloride that cannot be completely dissolved after melting will deposit in the pores of the metal-organic framework, which can fully contact with water to ensure the next time The solidification and
crystallization process proceeds smoothly without phase separation; the
crystal form difference between the calcium-based metal-organic framework and
calcium chloride hexahydrate is within 15%, and the metal-organic framework can be used as a
nucleation matrix for
calcium chloride hexahydrate crystallization , making the
supercooling of calcium
chloride hexahydrate within 2oC. The
composite phase change material of the present invention solves the problems of leakage,
supercooling and phase separation of calcium
chloride hexahydrate, and at the same time can maintain stable performance in the air, and more importantly, the
raw material is cheap, the process is simple, and the
reaction conditions are mild , and its industrial production has high competitiveness.
