Phase change materials (PCMs) have attracted considerable attention for effectively addressing the problem of thermal energy supply–demand mismatch. However, the practical application of PCMs is still hindered by inherent challenges such as crystalline rigidity, leakage susceptibility, and poor thermal conductivity . In this research, on the basic of thermal control provided by phase change storage and the elastic behavior supported by thermoplastic polyester elastomer at room temperature, we fabricated a new type of composite PCM (CPCM) that exhibits flexibility even at room temperature. This CPCM demonstrates good shape and thermal stability. Furthermore, the carbon nanotubes-COOH modified with lauric acid (LA) can be uniformly dispersed within the CPCM matrix, thereby enhancing the thermal conductivity of the CPCM. Additionally, the composite material exhibits a promising thermal management performance for high-temperature lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries. These findings open up new possibilities for the development of room- temperature flexible CPCMs.

The development of sustainable and functional epoxy resins from renewable biomass is gaining increasing attention. Herein, renewable and mechanically strong epoxy resins from chitosan and tung oil that possess proton conduction properties are developed. Firstly, tung oil-based epoxy monomers and chitosan based chain transfer agent were prepared. Then, a “grafting from” reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization was carried out on chitosan using epoxy monomers toward elastic graft copolymer, which combined rigid backbone and flexible side chains in one macromolecule. After being cured with citric acid (catalyst-free), a biomass-based epoxy resins with dual network structure can be obtained. The thermal and mechanical properties of these epoxy resins could be tuned through controlling the content of cross-linkers. Moreover, the chitosan bearing abundant amino groups not only enhanced strength of the epoxy resins, but also endowed them with proton conductivity. Overall, the epoxy resins exhibited high tensile strength and comparable proton conduction, which provides a new paradigm to design green functional materials for potential applications.

On the basis of the carboxylic structure of trimesic acid (TMA) and 5-borono-1,3-benzenedicarboxylic acid (B-BDC), here two hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs), HOF 1 (MA-TMA) and HOF 2 (MA-B-BDC), were prepared by reacting melamine (MA) with trimesic acid and 5-borono-1,3-benzenedicarboxylic acid, respectively. The as-prepared HOF 1 and HOF 2 with 3D supramolecular structure exhibit excellent performance in proton transport. AC impedance test shows that the proton conductivities of HOF 1 and HOF 2 reach 3.11 × 10–4 S·cm–1 (343 K, 98% RH) and 4.32 × 10–4 S·cm–1 (323 K, 98% RH), respectively. To increase the proton conductivity, Im@HOF 1 and Im@HOF 2 were obtained by introducing imidazole (Im), which acts as a jumping site for proton transfer. The proton conductivities of Im@HOF 1 and Im@HOF 2 reached 4.12 × 10–4 S·cm–1 (333 K, 98% RH) and 1.20 × 10–3 S·cm–1 (353 K, 98% RH), respectively. This is the first time that guest molecules were introduced into HOFs. The stability and proton conductivity of the HOFs are improved due to the interaction of imidazole with carboxyl groups and water molecules.

The objective of this research is to develop a composite polymer coating with increased thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance for protecting structural materials in heat exchange apparatuses. Chemically pure compounds such as graphene, boron nitride, tyrosine, sodium hydroxide, zinc pyrophosphate, ethyl acetate, and epoxy resin with the addition of secondary polypropylene were utilized as raw materials. The obtained coatings were evaluated using an emission scanning microscope equipped with an energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) detector. Electrochemical activity was measured using standard equipment within a frequency range of 0.1–0.01 Hz. Thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance were measured at 0.24 W/m K and 9.70 Ω/cm 2 when using only epoxy resin with the addition of secondary polypropylene. When employing a composite consisting of epoxy resin with the addition of secondary polypropylene, boron nitride, graphene, tyrosine, and zinc pyrophosphate, the thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance values were 1.65 W/m K and 11.10 Ω/cm 2 , respectively. Polymer coatings containing 30% composite demonstrated the highest thermal conductivity (1.65 W/m K) and corrosion resistance (11.20 Ω/cm 2 ). The research findings can be utilized to create polymer coatings with enhanced thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance values. This polymer coatings could serve as structural materials for heat exchange devices. Highlights Corrosion resistance increase with complexing of composite coating. Thermal conductivity increase with complexing of composite coating. Use of epoxy resin with secondary polypropylene make thermal conductivity value.

In this paper, different particle sizes of kaolin were employed to incorporate paraffin via vacuum impregnation method. The paraffin/kaolin composites were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) and Thermogravimetry (TG). The results showed that the paraffin/kaolin composite with the largest particle size of kaolin (K4) has the highest thermal conductivity (0.413 W/(m K) at 20 °C) among the diverse composites. The latent heat capacity of paraffin/K4 is 119.49 J/g and the phase change temperature is 62.4 °C. In addition, the thermal properties and thermal conductivities of paraffin/K4 with different mass fraction of K4 (0–60%) were investigated. The thermal conductivities of the composites were explained in microcosmic field. The phonon mean free path determines the thermal conductivity, and it can be significantly affected by temperature and the contact surface area. The leaks, thermal storage and release properties of pure paraffin and paraffin/kaolin composites were investigated and the composites presented good thermal stabilities.

Novel functionalized polysulfone with high local density of sulfonic acid groups, N , N -bis(sulfopropyl)aminyl-4-phenyl polysulfone or O , O′ -bis(sulfopropyl)resorcinol-5-yl-4-phenyl polysulfone (PSF-X-C 3 H 6 SO 3 H, X = N or O) are synthesized. These polymers are synthesized by bromination of polysulfone followed by Suzuki cross-coupling reaction to graft the aminophenyl groups and the dimethoxyphenyl groups onto the polymeric backbone, followed by introduction of the sulfopropyl groups via sultone ring-opening reaction. In addition, the composite membrane of PSF-O-C 3 H 6 SO 3 H and PSF-N-C 3 H 6 SO 3 H is also synthesized for comparison. The maximum proton conductivity of composite PSF-O-C 3 H 6 SO 3 H and PSF-N-C 3 H 6 SO 3 H reaches 46.66 mS cm −1 at 95 °C and 90% RH, higher than PSF-O-C 3 H 6 SO 3 H (42.06 mS cm −1 ) and PSF-N-C 3 H 6 SO 3 H (38.76 mS cm −1 ). Meanwhile, the composite exhibits compromised water uptake and swelling ratio, and low methanol permeability . The excellent overall performance of the composite is attributed to phase-separation between the hydrophilic and the hydrophobic subphases, and the hydrogen-bonding network developed in the hydrophilic subphases.

An improved sulfonated poly (ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) nanocomposite membrane was prepared by incorporating both phosphotungstic acid (HPW) and Al doped cerium-based oxides (Al-CeZrO4) in SPEEK matrix. The HPW was immobilized by Al-CeZrO4 so that firmly dispersed acid–base pairs were formed. The introduction of Al-CeZrO4 helped improve the chemical stability of the pristine (baseline) SPEEK membrane without compromising the conductivity, and the addition of HPW further enhanced the conduction of protons through acid–base interactions. Stability tests showed that when the SPEEK/Al-CeZrO4 nanocomposite membrane was immersed in a Fenton’s solution for 108 h at 80°C, a loss of 34.9% in proton conductivity was observed, which is 24.1% less than that of the pristine SPEEK membrane, indicating that the attenuation of membrane proton conductivity was inhibited. At the same time, the proton conductivity of the SPEEK/Al-CeZrO4/HPW nanocomposite membrane (that has already incorporated HPW) was increased by 15.5% compared to the SPEEK/Al-CeZrO4 nanocomposite membrane. Hence, Al-CeZrO4/HPW is considered as an effective inorganic nanofiller for improving both proton conductivity and chemical stability of SPEEK membranes, and the hybrid composite membrane is worth further studying.

Natural aliphatic dibasic acids are a type of bio-based material that shows promising potential as green phase change thermal storage materials due to their favorable thermophysical properties . However, these materials have been found to have issues with subcooling, low thermal conductivity , and poor temperature matching. In this study, three aliphatic dibasic acids, namely adipic acid (AA), sebacic acid (SA), and azelaic acid (ZA), were selected for further investigation. Three biobased eutectic systems, AA-SA (melting point: 118.3 °C), ZA-SA (melting point: 96.2 °C), and AA-ZA (melting point: 98.4 °C), were then prepared based on the calculation of Schrader's equation and experimental screening. The eutectic systems were thoroughly characterized, revealing thermal conductivities ranging from 0.4 to 0.5 W·m −1 ·K −1 , with all systems exhibiting a subcooling of around 20 °C. Based on the principle of optimal overall performance, the AA-SA system was selected for modification. By incorporating Expanded graphite (EG) as a highly thermally conductive additive and nucleating agent , the AA-SA/EG composite phase change material (CPCM) was successfully prepared. This modification effectively reduced the supercooling degree of the bio-based phase change materials (PCM) and significantly improved its thermal conductivity by a factor of four. The resulting AA-SA/EG CPCM demonstrated excellent temperature suitability and has the potential to contribute to the application of bio-based phase change materials in waste heat recovery and solar energy systems . This study provides valuable insights into the development and optimization of bio-based phase change materials, contributing to the sustainable utilization of renewable resources for thermal energy storage applications .

A new form-stable composite phase change material (PEG/ASB) composed of almond shell biochar (ASB) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) was produced via a simple and easy vacuum impregnation method. The supporting material ASB, which was cost effective, environmentally friendly, renewable and rich in appropriate pore structures, was produced from agricultural residues of almond shells by a simple pyrolysis method, and it was firstly used as the matrix of PEG. Different analysis techniques were applied to investigate the characteristics of PEG/ASB, including structural and thermal properties, and the interaction mechanism between ASB and PEG was studied. The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and thermal cycle tests demonstrated that PEG/ASB possessed favorable thermal stability. The differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) curves demonstrated that the capacities for latent heat storage of PEG/ASB were enhanced with increasing PEG weight percentage. Additionally, PEG/ASB had an excellent thermal conductivity of 0.402 W/mK, which was approximately 1.6 times higher than that of the pure PEG due to the addition of ASB. All the study results indicated that PEG/ASB had favorable phase change properties, which could be used for thermal energy storage.

A novel eutectic phase change material with light absorption and high thermal conductivity was successfully prepared. The based phase change material was ammonium aluminum sulfate dodecahydrate‑sodium sulfate eutectic phase change materials. The black Ti 2 O 3 after ball milling was selected as light thermal conversion material which can absorb sunlight effectively and simultaneously convert the light to thermal and the expanded graphite was added to further improve the thermal conductivity of phase change materials. The phase change temperature of the eutectic phase change material was effectively regulated to 80 °C compared with 93 °C of pure aluminum sulfate dodecahydrate. The thermal conductivity of eutectic phase change materials with expanded graphite was enhanced to 1.16 W·m −1 ·K −1 compared with 0.53 W·m −1 ·K −1 of the pure eutectic phase change material. By adding Ti 2 O 3 , the combination material shows the best solar absorbance capacity of 87.96 % compared with the pure eutectic phase change materials of 73.43 %. The latent heat of the novel material was 190.97 kJ/kg. Considering their huge superiority of highly efficient use of solar energy in natural resources, the new novel ammonium aluminum sulfate dodecahydrate‑sodium sulfate eutectic-based phase change material with excellent light absorbance, enhanced thermal conductivity, and high latent heat performance is a very promising material for solar-thermal conversion and energy storage.

Nanoparticles with high thermal conductivity are often used to enhance the charging/discharging performance of phase change materials (PCMs). In this study, several surface modification methods are employed to enhance the stability of nano-Al 2 O 3 particles in binary alkanes, and their effectiveness is evaluated and compared. Experiments showed that oleic acid-modified nano-Al 2 O 3 (3:1) had the highest stability in binary alkanes within the air-conditioning temperature range, maintaining stability for over 36 h at 3 wt% and 5 wt%. The nano-enhanced phase change material (NEPCM) with the modified nano-Al 2 O 3 exhibited an increase in thermal conductivity, ranging from 20 % to 106 %, with minimal latent heat loss. Based on the properties of NEPCM from previous experiments, a validated numerical model with a dynamic mesh was developed to investigate the discharging performance of NEPCM capsules within a narrow operating temperature range for cold latent heat storage. Compared to pure binary alkanes, adding 1 wt%, 3 wt%, and 5 wt% modified nano-Al 2 O 3 reduced the melting time by 10.9 %, 24.6 %, and 38.3 %, respectively. The convective heat transfer in the four NEPCMs (PCM, nPCM-1 A, nPCM-3 A, nPCM-5 A) accounts for 72 %, 70 %, 68 %, and 67 % of the total heat transfer, respectively, indicating that convective heat transfer is the predominant mode. The percentage of natural convection in total heat transfer decreases with the increasing addition of nanoparticles.

We report Sn(II) and Sn(IV) self-selective dual-doping, respectively, on Fe and Si sites of Li2FeSiO4 nanocrystals due to the steric and electronic structure effects of Sn(II,IV). Combined with experimental studies and theoretical calculations, we investigate the structure–property relationship of tin doped Li2FeSiO4 as the cathode material for high performance Li-ion batteries, in which the dual-doping enhances the electronic conductivity and lithium-ion diffusion coefficient. The doped sample with 5% Sn(IV) source shows the best electrochemical performance due to the improved electronic conductivity and Li-ion diffusivity. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations also reveal that tin dual-doped Li2FeSiO4 has better electronic conductivity and lower voltage of delithiation than that of the undoped Li2FeSiO4, which is in accordance with our experimental results.
