The composite phase change material was prepared via the impregnation method using diatomaceous as the carrier and stearic acid as the phase change material. The effects of diatomite content, temperature, immersion time and pressure on the mass ratio of stearic acid and diatomaceous earth in the composite phase change materials were discussed. The experimental results showed that the optimum conditions for preparing stearic acid/diatomite composite phase change material were immersion temperature of 80℃, socking time of 2 h, diatomite mass fraction of 23.04%, and vacuum degree of 0.03 MPa. Finally, the infrared spectroscopy analysis of stearic acid/diatomite composite phase change energy storage material showed that there is no chemical reaction between stearic acid and diatomite. And they are held together by intermolecular forces.

Today with enhancement in technology, sciences, there is also an increase in global heating rate. There is an urgent need of any alternate efficient source to reduce the wastage of energy and to utilize it efficiently. The advanced preparation of Expanded graphite ,lauric acid, stearic acid as shape stabilized phase change material deals with different energy harvesting applications. The main reason behind the need for synthesis of this matrix is to prepare a material that can be used in low temperature energy storage applications. Mixture of lauric acid , stearic acid impregnated in expanded graphite through vacuum impregnation followed by Vacuum Drying and Microwave acid treatment serves as novel shape stabilized phase change material of its type. The microwave acid treatment was done in order to increase the removal of moisture from the sample thus initiating proper bonding of its constituents. The mixture was produced in 1:1:1 ratio where all expanded graphite, lauric acid , stearic acid has one proportions of each other. The product obtained after microwave acid treatment was subjected to SEM, DSC analysis

A kind of form stable phase change material (PCM) based on expanded perlite, paraffin, urea formaldehyde hybrids is prepared by using vacuum-impregnation process. This kind of form stable PCM is made of paraffin as a dispersed phase change material and expanded perlite as a supporting material, and urea-formaldehyde resins as membrane materials to be applied to the porous surface of expanded perlite(EP). The structure of urea-formaldehyde resins(UF) being prepared is characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometer(FT-IR). Hybrids’ thermal stability, latentheat and morphology are characterized by the thermogravimetry analysis(TGA), differential scanning calorimeter(DSC) Method and scanning electronic microscope(SEM), respectively. The FT-IR and SEM curves show that urea-formaldehyde resins have already been formed. The TGA analysis indicates that the form-stable phase change material has very good thermostability under working atmosphere. The application of DSC not only studies the appropriate curing time of UF,but also indicates that the form-stable PCM that has been prepared has more stable thermal energy storage performance than the traditional one.

Organic phase change materials like paraffin as phase change material, modified diatomite as carrier, composite phase change material with proper phase change temperature and larger phase change enthalpy is prepared by melt blending. The structure and performance of composite phase material are characterized using SEM, FI-IR and synthesized thermal analyzer DSC. The results show that the phase change temperature of composite phase change material is 30, and phase change enthalpy is 89.54J/g. With every part preserved, phase change particles are distributed in the diatomite/melted paraffin matrix evenly. Stable composite phase change materials are prepared with diatomite as carrier and paraffin as PCM, which are bonded with Vander Waals forces in the form of physical adsorption.

Fatty acids are commonly preferred as phase change materials for passive solar thermoregulation due to their several advantageous latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) properties. However, further storage container requirement of fatty acids against leakage problem during heating period and also low thermal conductivity significantly limit their application fields. To overcome these drawbacks of capric acid–stearic acid eutectic mixture as phase change material, it was first impregnated with expanded vermiculite clay by melting/blending method and then doped with carbon nanotubes. The effects of carbon nanotubes additive on the chemical/morphological structures and LHTES properties of the composite phase change material and thermal enhanced change phase change materials were investigated by scanning electron microscope, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis analysis techniques. The differential scanning calorimetry results showed that the form-stable composite phase change materials and thermal enhanced composite phase change materials have melting temperatures in the range of 24.35–24.64℃ and latent heat capacities between 76.32 and 73.13 J/g. Thermal conductivity of the composite phase change materials was increased as 83.3, 125.0 and 258.3% by carbon nanotubes doping 1, 3 and 5 wt%. The heat charging and discharging times of the thermal enhanced -composite phase change materials were reduced appreciably due to the enhanced thermal conductivity without notably influencing their LHTES properties. Furthermore, the thermal cycling test and thermogravimetric analysis findings proved that all fabricated composites had admirable thermal durability, cycling LHTES performance and chemical stability.
