Özet
The rising global energy demand and climate change issues require efficient and sustainable thermal energy storage (TES) systems. Phase change materials (PCMs) are extensively utilized in TES systems but encounter obstacles such as limited thermal conductivity and leakage during phase transitions, which restrict their practical usage. This research established a hierarchical porous high internal phase emulsion polymer (PolyHIPE) scaffold characterized by improved thermal conductivity and a significant capacity for PCM loading. The scaffold was created through the copolymerization of glycidyl methacrylate and EHMA, employing EGDMA as a crosslinking agent. N-eicosane, selected as the PCM, was encapsulated within the PolyHIPE matrix at a concentration of up to 80 % without seepage. The incorporation of ZnO into the PCM and PolyHIPE structures at three distinct ratios enhanced the thermal …
