Background
The phase-change material realizes heat storage by absorbing or emitting heat when a substance undergoes phase change. The capsule phase change energy storage material (encapsulated phase change materials) is a novel composite material with a core-shell structure formed by coating a layer of film with stable performance on the surface of solid-liquid phase change material particles by applying an encapsulation technology, is particles prepared by using a polymer as a capsule wall and a phase change material as a core material, and has the advantages of high heat storage temperature, small equipment volume, high heat efficiency, constant temperature process of heat release and the like. The temperature of the working source or the surrounding environment of the material can be adjusted and controlled by utilizing the heat storage and release effects of the capsule type phase change energy storage material. The substance which has phase change in the capsule phase change energy storage material is sealed in the capsule, thereby effectively solving the problems of leakage, phase separation, corrosivity and the like of the phase change material, being beneficial to improving the application performance of the phase change material and widening the application field of the phase change heat storage technology.
However, the capsule phase-change energy storage materials currently used in commercialization are still limited, and most of the materials are concentrated in microcapsule phase-change energy storage materials (capsule particle size <1000 μm), and the development of large capsule phase-change energy storage materials (capsule particle size >1000 μm) is insufficient. Meanwhile, the existing capsule-type phase-change energy storage material has the defects that the volume of the phase-change material is expanded after being melted, and a phase-change core material and a capsule wall material react to cause liquid leakage and the like.
CN103468223A discloses a phase change energy storage material big capsule and a preparation method thereof, comprising the following steps: 1) uniformly stirring the phase change material, the alkene monomer containing unsaturated double bonds and the initiator at 40-100 ℃ to obtain a uniform oil phase solution; then adding expanded graphite micro powder into the oil phase solution to ensure that the expanded graphite is saturated and adsorbs the oil phase solution, and finally obtaining a mixture; 2) adding the mixture finally obtained in the step 1) into a water-soluble polymer aqueous solution, and fully stirring and emulsifying to obtain a suspension mixed solution; standing and defoaming the suspension mixed solution after reaction to obtain a viscous suspension; 3) and (3) dropwise adding the viscous suspension into a coagulating bath while stirring, coagulating into balls, filtering, washing and drying to obtain the phase change energy storage material macrocapsule. The material has better heat conductivity, but only uses the polymer of unsaturated alkene monomers as the capsule wall material, the particle strength is limited, and the application range is not wide; and the phase-change material is stored by using the expanded graphite micro powder, and after a plurality of cycle periods, the molten phase-change material is easy to seep out from the graphite gap, so that the liquid leakage phenomenon is caused, and the capsule wall is damaged.
CN103194181A discloses a spherical controllable beta-cyclodextrin/melamine resin-TiO2The preparation method of the nanometer phase change energy storage material takes beta-cyclodextrin/melamine resin as the wall material of a phase change nanometer capsule, and simultaneously a certain amount of TiO is added into the wall material2Lauric acid is taken as a core material; under certain conditions, the reaction is carried out by adopting an in-situ polymerization method to prepare the spherical nano phase change energy storage capsule material. The diameter of the spherical phase change energy storage capsule material prepared by the method is about 40nm, the highest content of 52.15% of core materials in 1g of capsule material can be achieved, the enthalpy value can reach 91.70J/g, and the capsule breakage rate is 11.3% at least. The microcapsule has limited coating rate on the phase change material, and lauric acid is taken as a core material, and in the long-term use process, the-COOH functional group contained in the microcapsule is easy to react with beta-ketoneThe cyclodextrin/melamine resin causes acidification, resulting in breakage of the wall material.
