Abstract
The encapsulation of phase change materials (PCMs) into graphene aerogels (GA) is proven an effective method to prepare composites with high thermal conductivity and excellent shape-stabilization. However, the utilization of PCMs is limited due to the leakage issue during solid-liquid phase trasition, caused by the presence of open micropores at the edge of graphene aerogels. Herein, we demonstrate coupled encapsulation of nanoshells and hierarchical frameworks. Three-dimensional (3D) GA with hierarchical frameworks possesses high capillary force to achieve first encapsulation of paraffin (PW). The dense copper shells coated by magnetron sputtering realize the encapsulation of PW/GA outer layer. The as-obtained composite PCMs exhibit a reduced leakage ratio of 0.29 %, which is much lower than PW/GA of 0.84 %. Simultaneously, the thermal conductivity and phase change latent can be up to 1.22 W·m−1·K−1 and 195.8 J·g−1, respectively. This work provides a new idea for developing PCMs with leakage-free and high heat storage density.
期刊介绍:
DRM is a leading international journal that publishes new fundamental and applied research on all forms of diamond, the integration of diamond with other advanced materials and development of technologies exploiting diamond. The synthesis, characterization and processing of single crystal diamond, polycrystalline films, nanodiamond powders and heterostructures with other advanced materials are encouraged topics for technical and review articles. In addition to diamond, the journal publishes manuscripts on the synthesis, characterization and application of other related materials including diamond-like carbons, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and boron and carbon nitrides. Articles are sought on the chemical functionalization of diamond and related materials as well as their use in electrochemistry, energy storage and conversion, chemical and biological sensing, imaging, thermal management, photonic and quantum applications, electron emission and electronic devices.
The International Conference on Diamond and Carbon Materials has evolved into the largest and most well attended forum in the field of diamond, providing a forum to showcase the latest results in the science and technology of diamond and other carbon materials such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, and diamond-like carbon. Run annually in association with Diamond and Related Materials the conference provides junior and established researchers the opportunity to exchange the latest results ranging from fundamental physical and chemical concepts to applied research focusing on the next generation carbon-based devices.
