Abstract

SiO₂/Fe₃O₄ hybrid wall microcapsules containing a paraffin core were successfully fabricated by Pickering emulsion template self-assembly and sol–gel technologies. The walls of these microcapsules were embedded with different dosages of Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles due to the effect of Fe₃O₄ Pickering emulsion of different concentrations. The resultant microcapsules exhibited a regular spherical morphology and a rough outer surface compared with that of the SiO₂ wall. Thermal analysis indicated that the encapsulation efficiency (E_en), thermal energy-storage efficiency (E_es), and thermal conductivity of paraffin@SiO₂/Fe₃O₄ hybrid wall microcapsules prepared with 0.01 mol/L Fe₃O₄ Pickering emulsion [Pa@SiO₂/Fe₃O₄-Ms (0.01)] increased by 16.71%, 16.88%, and 28.4% compared with those of paraffin@SiO₂ microcapsules (Pa@SiO₂-Ms), respectively. The phase-change temperatures and enthalpy of Pa@SiO₂/Fe₃O₄-Ms (0.01) with an 80–100 μm particle size range changed little after 300 thermal cycles. At the same time, these microcapsules were introduced into water-based acrylic resin paint to prepare phase-change composite protective coatings (PCCPCs) and exhibited excellent thermoregulatory performance. The real-time temperature difference and temperature ramp rate of PCCPCs incorporating 5 wt % (80–100 μm) Pa@SiO₂/Fe₃O₄-Ms (0.01) increased by 4.6 °C and decreased by 2.45 °C/min compared to that of the pure coating, respectively. Meanwhile, the fluctuation amplitude and fluctuation frequency of the average temperature on the back side of 5 wt % (80–100 μm) Pa@SiO₂/Fe₃O₄-Ms (0.01)-PCCPCs decreased by 3.8 °C and extended by 395 s compared to that of the pure coating under one heating and cooling cycle, respectively. This study will provide great potential applications for addressing the risk of shrinkage deformation and cracking of the protected concrete substrates under high-frequency and large temperature difference conditions.
