Analysis of energy storage mica solution

Can mica be used for thermal energy storage?

By investigating the thermal storage characteristics of mica, this work has explored the application potential of mica in the field of thermal energy storage materials, brought into play the unique advantages of mica minerals, and prepared novel low-cost, high-performance mica-based composite phase change materials for thermal energy storage.

How is mica used in a composite PCM?

Mica was used as supports to prepare form-stable phase change materials. KH-550 was used to modify the surface of mica and EG was added to further improve the thermal performance of the composite PCMs. The composite has remarkable latent heat and thermal conductivity for thermal energy storage.

Does Mica enhance thermal conductivity of composite PCMS?

The thermal conductivities of the composite PCMs were significantly enhanced by using mica. In addition, the addition of EG can be further enhanced. Table 3 compared the latent heat and thermal conductivity of the Md/EG/PEG with other composite phase change materials. Fig. 8.

Are Mica-based composite PCMS suitable for thermal storage materials?

The prepared mica-based composite PCMs have good thermal stability and thermal performance, and give full play to the application potential of mica in the use of thermal storage materials, showing a new direction for mica-based functional materials.

What is mica used for?

Mica, as a kind of natural mineral material, has been widely used in various industries (such as building materials, fire protection, papermaking, rubber, pigment, etc.), with good thermal conductivity, chemical stability, and unique lamellar structure .

Can mica adsorb polyethylene glycol?

In addition, the mechanism of performance control of composite phase change materials was proposed. The natural morphology and structure of mica can not only provide adsorption points for polyethylene glycol but also effectively solve the problem of polyethylene glycol leakage from the solid to the liquid phase.
