Abstract Thermal energy storage technology plays a crucial role in the thermal management system. Clay based organic phase change material has considerable advantages in the application of thermal energy storage due to low cost and high energy storage capacity. However, the low thermal conductivity of clay, especially poor interfacial thermal transfer, limits its thermal energy storage efficiency. Herein, stearic acid/reduced graphene oxide modified montmorillonite composites (SA/RGO-MMT) were prepared by the vacuum impregnation of stearic acid into graphene modified montmorillonite matrix, which was obtained via the in situ reduction of graphene oxide on the surface of montmorillonite. Stearic acid is assembled in the porous structures of RGO-MMT with the physical interactions. SA/RGO-MMT possesses high melting enthalpy of 159 J/g, low extent of supercooling of 1.4 oC and excellent thermal reliability after 100 thermal cycling. Energy storage and release rates of SA/RGO-MMT were significantly improved due to the enhanced interfacial thermal transfer by graphene. Therefore, SA/RGO-MMT is a promising form-stable phase change material for applications in solar heat storage fields. The strategy in this study highlights the importance of enhancing interfacial thermal transfer for the efficient thermal energy storage materials.

In this paper, the microcapsule of PCM (phase change material) was prepared, and the temperature adjustment principle of PCM was introduced. From the SEM, the morphology of microcapsule was shown as circle and uniform, which accorded with the particle distribution. The DSC curve showed the PCM heat change process. In this paper, the thermal transfer of microcapsule on the fabric was also introduced which was very useful for smart fabric application.

This paper mainly addressed preparation of a new n-nonadecane/expanded dolomite (ED) composite using vacuum impregnation method. This method was first used for textile thermal protection. In this method, n-nonadecane was applied as the phase change material (PCM) and ED was used as the supporting material in order to prepare and construct form-stable composite PCM. Composite properties were determined by FTIR and SEM techniques. Also the heat transfer measurement and differential scanning calorimetric (DSC) test were used to determine the thermal properties of composite on fabrics. The DSC results showed that freezing and melting temperatures of n-nonadecane in composite PCM have changed a little, indicating that there are no strong interactions between n-nonadecane molecules and the pore walls of ED. It was found that moisture transfer properties have substantial effects on textiles comfortable attributes. That is why moisture transfer properties were measured; the results show that the more fabric pores have been filled in composite PCM, which these changes cause moisture transfer reduction. The SEM results showed that the PCM was well absorbed in the porous network of the expanded materials. The results for DSC and temperature transfer also suggested that fabric temperature range for the amount of coated PCM depends on its area; namely, the more PCM is used in the fabric, the more heat for temperature increase will be needed. This is because as PCM increases in the composite, the latent heat storage density increases too; further, by adding n-nonadecane/ED composite to the textile surface; moisture and thermal transfer could be reduced.
