“…These two factors can promote the crystallization behavior of the PEG molecular chain, and then increase its phase change enthalpy, that is, better heat storage capacity. 6,64 In comparison to other PEG-based phase change materials, the λ and η of Ag@BSPCM achieved in this study were much improved, as shown in Figure 6B. At the same time, the enthalpy efficiency of prepared Ag@BSPCM was also high compared to other porous carbon-based BSPCMs studied in the related papers, as shown in Table 1.…”

Recently, the technology of employing phase change materials (PCMs) for solar energy storage has grown more magnetic due to the focus of various latent heat storage investigations to solve the energy crisis. In this work, a novel and ecofriendly shape-stable phase change material based on a biological matrix was prepared through vacuum impregnation, which used porous carbon as a support substrate from Cyperus alternifolius (CA), polyethylene glycol (PEG) as the phase change medium, and silver nanoparticles attached to the matrix as the reinforcement factor. The superior porous structure of CA allows it to have a high loading rate of PEG. The multifunctionality of silver nanoparticles can increase the thermal conductivity of the bio-based shape-stable phase change material (BSPCM) up to 0.676 W/(m K), while also boosting its photo-thermal conversion efficiency to 82.7%. Furthermore, the Ag@BSPCM has an excellent melting enthalpy of 137.3 J/g, as well as outstanding thermal stability and reliability. Additionally, the great photo-to-thermal conversion efficiency of Ag@BSPCM (82.7%) and the significant anti-leakage capability bodes well for its future application. This demonstrates the prepared Ag@BSPCM proves its feasibility for thermal energy storage management and photo-thermal conversion.

“…Higher specific area and more uniform mesoporous structure were more conducive to the synthesis of morphologically stable composite PCMs from large molecular weight of PEG immobilized by aerogel. 15 Therefore, rGO−COF aerogel was available for adsorbing high molecular weight PCM, forming a physical cross-linked structure by capillary adsorption and surface interaction with mesopores, restricting the movement of polymer chains and forming a stable composite PCM. 36 PEG-based composite PCMs were prepared by vacuum impregnation in this work; it is clearly visible that PEG successfully filled the pores of aerogels from Figure S4 in the Supporting Information.…”

In the field of thermal energy storage, organic phase change materials (PCMs) are widely used as functional materials to boost thermal applications. However, there is often a tradeoff between constructing shape-stable composite PCMs with high enthalpy value and those with low leakage rates. Here, we proposed a promising scheme to address this issue. A novel hydrogel consisting of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and covalent organic framework (COF) was prepared via hydrothermal methods, and the rGO–COF ultralight aerogel with a hierarchical porous structure was formed after freeze-drying. The rGO–COF aerogel shows excellent absorption ability and affinity for organic solvents. It can sufficiently adsorb the molten organic PCMs, such as polyethylene glycol (PEG), and synthesize shape-stable composite PCMs with excellent leak resistance. The COF grown on the surface of rGO has a superior affinity for PEG, so rGO–COF aerogel shows an outstanding PEG loading rate of up to 96.1 wt %, which is 1.7 wt % higher than that of rGO aerogel. In addition, the COF effectively reduces the subcooling of PEG/rGO–COF with 20.3%, compared to PEG/rGO. Meanwhile, the prepared PEG/rGO–COF exhibits extremely high enthalpy and relative enthalpy efficiency (164.6 J/g, 97.4%). This demonstrates that a promising direction was highlighte for the preparation of high-enthalpy shape-stable composite organic PCMs in this work.
