Organic and inorganic phase change materials (PCMs) are considered potential materials for thermal energy storage (TES) with different phase change characteristics.In this study,a novel organic-inorganic composite phase change material (PCM) called disodium hydrogen phosphate dodecahydrate-lauric-palmitic acid (D-LA-PACM) was prepared.Expanded graphite (EG) was selected as the support material,and the novel organic-inorganic form-stable PCM called D-LA-PAPCM/EG was prepared using the vacuum adsorption method.Differential scanning calorimetry,Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy,X-ray diffraction,leakage testing,melting and solidification cycle testing,thermal conductivity testing,scanning electron microscopy observation of the micromorphology,and other characterization methods were used to study the microstmcture and morphology,thermal physical parameters,thermal conductivity,stability of the PCMs,and the comprehensive material properties of D-LA-PAPCM under the composite action of EG.Results indicated that the melting and freezing temperatures and latent heats of D-LA-PAPCM/EG were measured to be 31.6℃ and 34.3℃ and 142.9 and 142.8 J/g,respectively.Although some of the lauric-palmitic acid (LA-PA) and disodium hydrogen phosphate dodecahydrate (DHPD) separated in the multiple porous structures of EG after 1000 cycles,they could still absorb and release latent heats independently,with D-LA-PAPCM/EG still exhibiting good thermal stability.The thermal conductivity of D-LA-PAPCM/EG was 1.361 W/(m.K).Therefore,the material and thermal properties of the prepared D-LA-PAPCM/EG indicate that it could be well used as a feasible material for energy-saving phase change floor units in indoor TES systems.
