Abstract
Phase change materials (PCMs) are considered potential resources for Thermal energy storage (TES) applications. However, the PCMs are limited because of their lower thermal conductivity, resulting in a significant decrease in heat transport and energy storage capability. The foremost objective of the present research is to formulate a novel salt hydrate PCM filled with binary carbon-based nanoparticles (graphene and multi-walled carbon nanotubes) at various weight concentrations and examine the thermophysical properties. A two-step approach is used to formulate binary nanomaterials dispersed salt hydrate PCM. The formulated binary nanocomposite's thermo-physical properties like morphological behaviour, thermal stability, chemical stability, melting enthalpy, optical performance, rate of heat transfer and thermal reliability were characterized. The binary nanoparticle-enhanced nanocomposites can form a decent thermal network, resulting in a remarkable enhancement in thermal conductivity by 160 % (1.2 W/mK) compared to pure salt hydrate. Moreover, a remarkable improvement in optical absorptance and a reduction in optical transmittance by 82.55 % for 0.7 wt% graphene and 0.07 wt% MWCNT enhanced salt hydrate PCM (SAHGrM-0.07) than pure salt hydrate PCM. In addition, the formulated nanocomposites possess excellent heat storage capability, chemical and thermal stability after 300-thermal cycling. The binary carbon-based nanoparticle-enhanced salt hydrate nanocomposites offered acceptable thermal and chemical stability, thermal reliability, and heat transmission characteristics, by this means reflecting its appropriateness for medium-temperature solar TES applications.
