Background
The phase-change heat storage realizes isothermal heat storage by utilizing the heat absorption and release of the material at the melting point, and has higher efficiency compared with a sensible heat storage mode.
Solar sunlight intensity is different in different seasons, different regions and different time of day, the temperature generated by the solar heat storage material is different, if a single phase change material is used for absorbing heat, the temperature value in each time interval can be difficult to approach to a phase change point to the maximum extent, therefore, the phase change material is difficult to work at the phase change point, more times of heat storage can be completed in a low-efficiency sensible heat mode, if a composite phase change material with a plurality of phase change points is adopted, each phase change component can approach to a phase change working state to the maximum extent, the sensible heat occupation ratio is reduced to the maximum extent, and the heat storage is realized at the highest efficiency.
Chinese patent CN106221676A discloses a phase change heat storage material with multiple phase change points and a preparation process thereof, and the principle is that phase change materials with multiple phase change points are mixed to form a graded phase change material with multiple phase change temperatures; chinese patent CN106634856A discloses a two-gradient phase-change heat storage material and a preparation method thereof, the invention aims to achieve the purpose of performance complementation by compounding two phase-change materials with different performances, and the patent does not mention that the phase-change heat exchange is completed at each temperature point by different phase-change temperatures. Chinese patent CN106675525A discloses a "phase change cold storage material with two phase change points and its preparation method", the purpose of the invention is to make its working temperature always between two phase change temperatures by the composite material with two phase change points, the patent does not mention that the phase change heat exchange is completed at each temperature point by different phase change temperatures.
The phase-change materials with different phase-change points adopted in the patent are heterogeneous inorganic composite phase-change materials with different phase-change points, and due to the fact that the materials are heterogeneous, the problem of microscopic cracks caused by incompatibility exists, the cracks can block conduction of heat flow, and heat conductivity is reduced. Heterogeneous phase change materials are mixed together, and due to different molecular structures, crystallization can be influenced, and thus supercooling degree is influenced. This requires that either a plurality of different nucleating agents are selected corresponding to a plurality of phase change materials or the selected nucleating agents have a nucleating effect on a plurality of heterogeneous phase change materials when selecting the nucleating agents, which reduces the range of phase change material selection.
The phase change point of the phase change material adopted in the patent is fixed and invariable, and a user cannot freely select the phase change material according to needs. In fact, it is very difficult to find the phase-change material according to the specified phase-change temperature, and the phase-change temperature of the phase-change material cannot be changed generally, so if the phase-change temperature point of the material, that is, the melting point of the material, can be changed by control, the phase-change temperature required by the user can be met more accurately.
On the other hand, chinese patent CN105509528A discloses a "multi-level gradient phase change regenerator", which is a structure with multiple phase change points obtained by structural design, specifically, the phase change layers with multiple levels of different phase change temperatures are arranged from top to bottom in sequence, so as to realize the heat exchange between the heat exchange medium and each level of phase change layer in sequence, and thus, when the fluid heat exchange medium is used for heat exchange in the heat exchange process, the temperature of the fluid heat exchange medium is continuously changed, and the fluid heat exchange medium is just subjected to efficient phase change heat exchange with the multiple layers of phase change heat storage layers with different phase change temperatures; chinese patent CN108413796A discloses a "temperature gradient energy storage heat exchanger", which also uses a structure of stacking a plurality of heat storage sandwich plates to realize gradient heat exchange. Chinese patent CN106940148A discloses a 'gradient fractal lattice sandwich reinforced phase change heat sink', which has the principle that phase change sandwich is sequentially arranged into an array according to a gradient changing mode to improve the heat exchange efficiency, and the basic structure is also laminated according to the heat flow direction; none of the above patents modifies the phase change material and thereby changes the phase change point.
Chinese patent CN201080010934 discloses a chemical recycling polylactic acid by an alcoholysis method, which degrades polylactic acid into lactic acid under the conditions of an alkali catalyst, a lactate ester solvent and 80-180 ℃ and aims to recycle waste polylactic acid. Chinese patent CN201610407510 discloses a method for recovering polylactic acid waste, which degrades polylactic acid into lactic acid and calcium lactate under the conditions of lactide solvent and 170-220 ℃, and aims at recovering waste polylactic acid.

Or the polypropylene is degraded into propylene monomer by adopting a method of ultraviolet ray and biological fermentation, and the method is also used for recovering waste plastics.

Most homogeneous metals, inorganic non-metals cannot have multiple melting points, with crystalline polymers being an exception. The crystalline polymers with different molecular weights have the same molecular structure, different molecular weights and different melting points in a certain range, and by utilizing the characteristic, the gradient phase-change material with the characteristics can be obtained by compounding the homogeneous polymers with different molecular weights.
In order to obtain polymers of different molecular weights, the molecular weight of the final product can be controlled during polymerization. The above method is troublesome if a plurality of polymers having different molecular weights are to be obtained.
The polylactic acid polymer has a molecular weight of 7-10 ten thousand generally, belongs to crystalline plastics, has a melting point of about 175 ℃, can be used for biodegradable plastics, can be used as a raw material of polylactic acid, and is low in strength and not large in application at present. The present invention degrades the ready-made polymer to obtain oligomer with different molecular weight through controlling the degradation process, and is one excellent method of obtaining homogeneous polymer with different molecular weight. The oligomers formed during the degradation process are generally not of a single molecular weight but are normally distributed in the composition. By controlling the degradation conditions, the molecular weight distribution can be adjusted, and from the viewpoint of cost, oligomers with a broad molecular weight distribution more closely meet the gradient requirements of the gradient phase change material, which makes the gradient cells finer, so that, in the degradation operation, measures advantageous for a broad molecular weight distribution are preferred. The invention adopts a biological-like fermentation method to degrade the ready-made polylactic acid, and obtains the polylactic acid with different molecular weights by controlling the degradation process. The invention creates a higher-degree natural biodegradation environment, and carries out rapid and controllable molecular weight grading degradation on the polylactic acid to obtain various low molecular weight polylactic acids for gradient phase change materials.
