Preferably, the concentration of the graphene oxide solution is 10mg/mL, under the concentration, the enhancement effect of the reduced graphene oxide layer on the capillary action of the matrix is better, the leakage probability of the phase change material is smaller, the better encapsulation effect on the phase change material is realized, and the heat preservation effect of the composite material is also better.
In some embodiments of the present application, the rotational speed of centrifugation is 1500r/min to 1900r/min, such as 1500r/min, 1550r/min, 1600r/min, 1650r/min, 1700r/min, 1750r/min, 1800r/min, 1850r/min, or 1900r/min; the centrifugation time is 1min to 4min, for example 1min, 2min, 3min or 4min.

The properties of the obtained composite phase change material were tested.
(1) Chemical topography analysis
Fig. 4 is a scanning electron microscope image of Melamine Sponge (MS), melamine sponge with reduced graphene oxide layer (MS/rGO) prepared in example 1, and composite phase change material (MS/rGO/PW) prepared in example 1 at different magnifications. From fig. 4 (a) and (b), it can be seen that the melamine sponge consists of a smooth three-dimensional network structure, the sponge skeleton has a diameter of about 5 μm, and the melamine sponge has a larger porosity because the support skeleton occupies a smaller space than the voids inside. Fig. 4 (c) and (d) show the covering condition of graphene oxide after being reduced to reduced graphene oxide on a sponge skeleton, and the melamine sponge skeleton has no change in structure after centrifugation and hydroiodic acid solution soaking, so that the three-dimensional porous structure is still maintained, and the elastic flexibility of the melamine sponge skeleton is maintained; the reduced graphene oxide is not continuous on the framework, but distributed in a sheet form, namely the reduced graphene oxide layer is in a discontinuous layered structure on the framework. As can be seen from fig. 4 (e) and (f), the paraffin completely fills the pores of the melamine sponge, and the distribution is relatively uniform. The porosity of the sponge is high, so that the paraffin filling amount is large, and the phase change latent heat is large; and the pores have smaller diameters, about 50 μm, which helps to create capillary adsorption forces and prevent paraffin leakage.
(2) Fourier infrared spectroscopy
Fig. 5 is a fourier infrared spectrum of Melamine Sponge (MS), graphene Oxide (GO), graphene oxide-adsorbed melamine sponge (MS/GO) prepared in example 1, and reduced graphene oxide-coated modified melamine sponge (MS/rGO) prepared in example 1. As can be seen, for melamine sponge, the wavenumber is 816cm -1 、1620cm -1 、3430cm -1 The three peaks of (a) are bending vibration of the triazine ring, stretching vibration of cyano group c=n, and stretching vibration of imino group N-H, respectively. Graphene oxide wavenumber 1433cm -1 、1633cm -1 The peaks of (2) correspond to the flexural vibration of the alcoholic hydroxyl group O-H and the tensile vibration of c=o in the carboxyl group. After graphene oxide and melamine sponge are combined into MS/GO, the characteristic peak of the oxygen-containing functional group still exists, the wave number is unchanged, and the wave number is 3398cm -1 The peak at this location broadens, indicating that no chemical reaction occurs with GO covering the sponge scaffold. In the reduction of the hydriodic acid solution to obtain MS/rGO, the strength of the oxygen-containing functional groups O-H and C=O is obviously reduced, which indicates that the oxygen-containing functional groups in GO are reduced, and the reduced graphene oxide layer structure is obtained.
Fig. 6 is a fourier infrared spectrum of Paraffin Wax (PW), reduced graphene oxide coated modified melamine sponge (MS/rGO) prepared in example 1, and composite phase change material (MS/rGO/PW) prepared in example 1. The four characteristic peaks of paraffin wax are each wavenumber 717cm -1 Methylene CH of 2 Plane vibration of wavenumber 1378cm -1 、1470cm -1 Deformation vibration of methine CH and wave number 2904cm -1 Methylene CH of 2 Is not symmetrical to the vibration of the expansion and contraction. In MS/rGO/PW obtained by compounding paraffin and MS/rGO, compound phase change is carried outThe characteristic peaks of the material are similar to paraffin, the intensity is not changed, and the deviation is not generated, which indicates that the paraffin is filled in a physical immersion way as a component in MS/rGO and does not generate chemical reaction. The paraffin and MS/rGO can keep the original characteristics of the paraffin and the MS/rGO to work, and the advantages of the paraffin and the MS/rGO are fully exerted.
(3) DSC test
Fig. 7 is a graph of DGC of the composite phase change materials obtained in examples 1 to 3, the latent heat and the melting point of the phase change materials can be obtained by DSC curves, the results of the latent heat of phase change and the phase change temperature of the composite phase change materials obtained in examples 1 to 3 are shown in fig. 8, and meanwhile, the composite materials obtained after pure paraffin is filled in melamine sponge holes are used as a comparison, and the specific filling method is the same as that in example 1.
DSC test is carried out by adopting a German relaxation-resistant STA449F5 synchronous thermal analyzer, the temperature is increased from 25 ℃ to 100 ℃ at the heating rate of 5 ℃/min, and protective gas nitrogen is introduced in the heating process.
According to FIGS. 7 and 8, the phase change latent heat of pure paraffin wax is 139.1J/g, the phase change latent heat of the MS/rGO/PW composite phase change material obtained at the concentration of 2mg/mL is 125.3J/g, the phase change latent heat of the MS/rGO/PW composite phase change material obtained at the concentration of 5mg/mL is 108.2J/g, and the phase change latent heat of the MS/rGO/PW composite phase change material obtained at the concentration of 10mg/mL is 98.9J/g. It can be seen that as the concentration of the graphene oxide solution is increased, the latent heat of phase change of the composite phase change material is reduced, and the latent heat of the composite phase change material prepared by using 10mg/mL graphene oxide solution is reduced by 28.9% compared with pure paraffin. This is because the concentration of graphene oxide increases to thicken the reduced graphene oxide layer on the sponge skeleton, the sponge pores decrease, the amount of adsorbed paraffin decreases, the latent heat of phase change is mainly provided by paraffin, and graphene does not provide the latent heat of phase change, resulting in a decrease in the latent heat of the composite phase change material.
The phase transition temperature of the composite phase change material prepared by the graphene oxide solution of 2mg/mL, 5mg/mL and 10mg/mL is 42.2 ℃, 42 ℃, 43.2 ℃ and 43.7 ℃ respectively. It can be seen that when the concentration of graphene oxide is low, the phase transition temperature of the MS/rGO/PW composite phase-change material is slightly different from that of pure paraffin, the phase transition temperature of the composite phase-change material prepared from the graphene oxide solution with the concentration of 2mg/mL is only 0.2 ℃, but when the concentration of graphene oxide is high, the phase transition temperature of the obtained composite phase-change material is obviously increased, compared with the melting point of pure paraffin, the melting point of the composite phase-change material is increased by 1 ℃, and the reason of the increase of the melting point can be explained according to the description of Clapeyrn-Clausius equation.
Wherein T is 1 、T 2 And P 1 、P 2 Is the melting point and pressure in both states,is the change in volume during the phase change,is enthalpy change, volume is increased in the paraffin phase change process, and because the three-dimensional graphene skeleton (MS/rGO) has a certain adsorption limiting effect on paraffin, the pressure born by the paraffin is increased, and P 2 >P 1 T is then 2 >T 1 The melting point of paraffin increases.
(4) Thermal conductivity testing
Fig. 9 is a graph showing the thermal conductivity coefficient results of the composite phase change materials obtained in examples 1 to 3, and meanwhile, the composite material obtained by filling pure paraffin into melamine sponge holes is used as a comparison, and the filling method is the same as that in example 1.
The heat conductivity coefficient testing device is an XIATECH TC3000 heat conductivity coefficient tester, a transient heat wire method is used for measurement, the measurement method is high in precision and convenient to prepare samples, a heat wire is clamped between two samples with the same shape and size and smooth surfaces during measurement, the heat wire is pressed by weights, no air gap is reserved around the heat wire, and the heat wire is electrified to generate heat for heating.
As shown in FIG. 9, the thermal conductivity of the pure paraffin wax is 0.21W/m.K, the thermal conductivity of the MS/rGO/PW composite phase change material of 2mg/mL is 0.217W/m.K, the thermal conductivity of the MS/rGO/PW composite phase change material of 5mg/mL is 0.226W/m.K, and the thermal conductivity of the MS/rGO/PW composite phase change material of 10mg/mL is 0.271W/m.K, and compared with the pure paraffin wax, the thermal conductivity of the obtained composite phase change material is enhanced to a certain degree, the thermal conductivity of the obtained composite phase change material is positively correlated with the graphene content, and the thermal conductivity of the 10mg/mL composite material is improved by about 30% compared with the thermal conductivity of the paraffin wax. However, in general, the magnitude of the increase in thermal conductivity of the MS/rGO/PW composite phase change material is not large, and the thermal conductivity is only 3% to 8% enhanced, especially for low concentration composite samples. The composite phase-change material is prepared by taking melamine sponge as a framework, the heat conductivity coefficient of the melamine sponge is extremely low and only 0.034W/m.K, and the heat conductivity of the composite phase-change material is negatively influenced; the reduced graphene oxide has high heat conductivity, and the reduced graphene oxide is covered on the sponge framework in a thin layer form, so that the heat conductivity of the sponge is enhanced to be at a proper level, and the heat conductivity improving effect and the graphene content are in positive correlation.
The composite phase-change material prepared by the invention has proper heat conductivity coefficient, can be suitable for a low-temperature heat management system, can reduce heat loss and enhance the heat preservation capability of the heat management system in a low-temperature environment.
(5) Quality stability test
The quality stability test method comprises the following steps: the composite phase change materials obtained in examples 1 to 3 were placed on filter paper, incubated at 70℃for 20 minutes, then cooled and weighed, and the mass change of the materials was recorded 10 times in a cycle. As shown in fig. 10, the quality of the phase change materials with different graphene contents of 2, 5 and 10mg/mL is changed into 82.2%, 85.2% and 90.2% respectively, and as can be seen from fig. 10, the quality of the composite phase change material with the previous 3 times of thermal cycling is reduced, paraffin is lost, the quality change is smaller and smaller along with the increase of the cycle times, and the leakage amount of the paraffin is smaller and smaller, because the graphene has lipophilicity, the graphene can have good affinity with the paraffin when covered on a three-dimensional sponge skeleton, and folds are formed on the skeleton, the surface roughness is changed, and the capillary adsorption force of the graphene sponge can be enhanced. The higher the graphene content is, the smaller the leakage amount of paraffin is, the leakage rate of the composite phase-change material obtained at the concentration of 2mg/mL is 17.8%, and the leakage rate of the composite phase-change material obtained at the concentration of 10mg/mL is only 9.2%, which indicates that MS/rGO prepared by high-concentration graphene oxide can form a good encapsulation effect on paraffin.
In order to make the leakage-proof performance and the heat conductivity coefficient of the composite phase-change material at excellent levels, the concentration of the graphene oxide solution used in preparing the composite phase-change material is preferably 10mg/mL.
(6) Battery thermal insulation experiment
Referring to fig. 11, battery modules were fabricated using the materials obtained in example 1 and comparative example 1, respectively, and battery insulation experiments were performed using the battery modules without the phase change material as a control, and the temperature cooling curves of the three battery modules are shown in fig. 12.
It can be seen that, among the three battery modules, the battery module using the composite phase-change material of the embodiment is slowest in temperature drop, when the temperature drops from 30 ℃ to 15 ℃, the battery module without the phase-change material is 2257s in natural cooling use time, the battery module using the foam copper phase-change material of the comparative example 1 is 3915s in cooling use time, the battery module using the composite phase-change material of the embodiment 1 is 4427s in cooling use time, and compared with the cooling without the phase-change material, the cooling time of the module after the phase-change material is added is prolonged, the foam copper paraffin phase-change material time is prolonged by 73.4%, and the time of using the composite phase-change material of the application is prolonged by nearly one time, so that the composite phase-change material of the application has a good heat preservation effect.
When the temperature is reduced to 0 ℃, the natural cooling of air takes 6263 seconds, the cooling time of the foam copper paraffin wax phase-change material and the composite phase-change material of the application is prolonged by 2611s and 3489s, and the phase-change material can maintain the temperature of the battery above 0 ℃ for a long time through the specific heat of the phase-change material. Compared with the copper foam paraffin phase-change material of comparative example 1, the composite phase-change material of example 1 has an improved heat preservation time of 878 seconds, because the thermal conductivity of the composite phase-change material is lower than that of the copper foam paraffin, heat can be stored in the material for a longer time, heat dissipation is reduced, and therefore the composite phase-change material has better heat preservation performance at low temperature, and the capacity of a battery can be prevented from being attenuated.
According to the technical scheme, the invention has the advantages and positive effects that:
according to the preparation method, the reduced graphene oxide layer is formed on the framework of the matrix through growth, on one hand, the composite material has proper thermal conductivity and thermal stability through coating modification of the reduced graphene oxide with high thermal conductivity and high thermodynamic stability, heat loss can be reduced, and therefore good heat preservation performance and thermal cycle stability are given to the composite phase-change material. On the other hand, the reduced graphene oxide layer forms folds on the framework of the matrix, so that the framework of the matrix is formed into a rough surface, and the reduced graphene oxide layer has better affinity to the phase change material, so that the matrix has stronger capillary action and molecular acting force, the adsorption capacity of the phase change material filled in the holes of the matrix is enhanced, and the leakage of the phase change material is effectively prevented.
