ABSTRACT
In this paper, innovative capricâ»palmiticâ»stearic acid ternary eutectic/polyacrylonitrile/aluminum oxide (CAâ»PAâ»SA/PAN/Al2O3) form-stable phase change composite fibrous membranes (PCCFMs) with different mass ratios of Al2O3 nanoparticles were prepared for thermal energy storage. The influences of Al2O3 nanoparticles on morphology and thermal performances of the form-stable PCCFMs were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and measurement of melting and freezing times, respectively. The results showed that there was no apparent leakage trace from the SEM observation. The DSC analysis indicated that the addition of Al2O3 nanoparticles had no significant effect on phase transition temperatures and enthalpies of the CAâ»PAâ»SA/PAN/Al2O3 form-stable PCCFMs. The melting peak temperatures and melting enthalpies of form-stable PCCFMs were about 25 °C and 131â»139 kJ/kg, respectively. The melting and freezing times of the CAâ»PAâ»SA/PAN/Al2O310 form-stable PCCFMs were shortened by approximately 21% and 23%, respectively, compared with those of the CAâ»PAâ»SA/PAN form-stable PCCFMs due to the addition of Al2O3 nanoparticles acting as heat transfer fillers.
