Abstract

Abstract:

Given its issues with phase stratification and supercooling degree, mirabilite phase-change energy storage material, a type of inorganic hydrated salt with a high latent heat value and abundant source, has been restricted in its wide application in the field of energy storage. In this study, nitrogen-doped porous carbon is used as the carrier, and the mirabilite phase-change energy storage material is compounded with nitrogen-doped porous carbon to solve the problems in the practical application of mirabilite phase-change energy storage material. Through a hydrothermal reaction, nitrogen atoms were loaded on the polyurethane foam, and then the nitrogen-doped porous carbon sponge (NPCS-M) was obtained by high-temperature carbonization. The NPCS-M was used as the carrier of Na₂SO₄·10H₂O/Na₂HPO₄·12H₂O eutectic salt, and finally, the mirabilite-based composite phase-change material (NPCS-M) encapsulated by nitrogen-doped porous carbon sponge was prepared. The results showed that the nitrogen-doped porous carbon sponge was a honeycomb structure, with an N content of 4.3% and a specific surface area of 42.52 m²/g. The adsorption capacity of the material for the eutectic salt reached 120 times its weight. Simultaneously, the composite phase-change material's solid-liquid phase transformation properties after 1000, 3000, and 5000 cycles at 5—60 ℃ were studied. After 5000 cycles, the latent heat of the composite phase-change material was still above 130 J/g, and it can reduce the supercooling degree of eutectic salt after multiple cycles. The nitrogen-doped porous carbon sponge, a composite phase-change material, has a wide range of applications in the field of energy storage.

Key words: N doping, porous carbon sponge, stereotypy, eutectic salt, thermal performance
