Studies from University of Adelaide Further Understanding of Energy and Buildings (Microencapsulated Paraffin With Sio2 and Cu-btc Composite Shell As Shape-stabilized Thermal Energy Storage Materials)

Article Description

Microencapsulated phase change materials (MEPCMs) containing paraffin were fabricated by chemical precipitation and complexation using SiO 2 and Cu-BTC MOF as composite shell materials. Physicochemical properties of the synthesized materials were characterized by various techniques. The composite materials were evaluated for benzene vapor sorption isotherm, NH 3 adsorption isotherm, and formaldehyde adsorption. The melting temperature, latent heat and encapsulation ratio of MEPCM were determined to be 22.7 °C, 84.5 J/g and 44.5%, respectively. After 100 melting-freezing cycles, the heat storage and heat release capacities of MEPCM were reduced by less than 2.0% and 1.7%, respectively. Besides, the as-prepared MEPCM can be usedas a microcapsule material for indoor building purification to remove indoor pollutants. Compared with the reference, the building with the MEPCM/gypsum board has a noticeable reduction of periodic fluctuations in temperature and humidity, which are conducive to storing time-dependent and intermittent solar energy and improvingthe quality of the living environment.
