Abstract Phase change heat storage using the latent heat for energy absorption, storage and release, can reasonably and effectively use the existing energy, optimize the use of renewable resources and improve the energy utilization efficiency. Erythritol with a phase transition temperature of about 118 ℃ and a latent heat of about 314 J/g, has the advantages of high energy storage density, non-corrosiveness, etc. It is a promising phase change material in the field of medium temperature energy storage, which is widely used in solar energy storage, industrial waste heat recovery, clean heating and other fields.
However, erythritol has severe supercooling, and its thermal conductivity is relatively lower. These shortcomings make it impossible to release heat energy in time, resulting in low heat energy utilization efficiency, which greatly limits the application of erythritol in energy storage. The deve-loping composite material preparation technology provides a new method for improving the supercooling and thermal conductivity of erythritol. While retaining the excellent properties of erythritol, it also mitigates the defects of severe supercooling and low thermal conductivity. At present, the preparation of erythritol composite phase change materials has become the main method to improve its performance, and achieved remarkable results.
Supercooling is controlled by introducing nucleating agents to reduce the nucleation barrier and promote nucleation. A number of nucleating agents, including nano-metals and their oxides, expanded graphite, graphite foam, etc., have been proven capable of reducing the supercooling of erythritol, in which the best reduction effect, according to the available literature, is 93%. Keeping erythritol in the supercooled metastable state for a long time is the key to utilize its high supercooling characteristics for cross-season energy storage applications. However, the technology is still under research and deserves optimization. Through adding highly thermally conductive materials and increasing the heat transfer area of the phase change regenerator, the equivalent thermal conductivity of erythritol can be increased and can reach up to 30 W/(m·K), resulting in a significant enhancement of heat utilization efficiency. The phase equilibrium theory provides ideas for adjusting the phase transition temperature of erythritol. The eutectic phase change materials with adjustable phase transition temperature in the range of 70—120 ℃ and latent heat greater than 200 J/g can be prepared by selecting appropriate organic phase change materials.
This article briefly summarizes the common preparation techniques of erythritol-based composite phase change materials, and respectively reviews the methods to inhibit the supercooling performance and improve thermal conductivity of erythritol, as well as how to utilize the high supercooling of erythritol. It also summarizes the methods of adjusting the phase transition temperature of erythritol, and comparatively analyzes the advantages of erythritol-based composite phase change materials in practical application.
