摘要：

A novel variant of composite phase-change material (PCM) was developed by incorporating 0.5 wt% aluminum oxide (Al2O3), silicon dioxide (SiO2), copper (II) oxide (CuO) and silver (Ag) nanomaterials into myristic acid. In this formulation, myristic acid served as the foundational material, while aluminum oxide, silicon dioxide, copper (II) oxide and silver were employed as supporting components. The morphology and crystalline structure of the nanomaterials were studied using field-emission scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis, respectively. The composite PCMs were fabricated using a two-step process. The phase-change properties of the composite PCMs were assessed using differential scanning calorimetry. The nanomaterials (0.5 wt% aluminum oxide, silicon dioxide, copper (II) oxide and silver) were suspended in myristic acid separately to investigate the heat-transfer performance of the composite PCMs during phase-change processes (melting and freezing). The results clearly indicated that the duration of the melting and freezing processes of the composite PCMs decreased compared with that of the pure PCM. Thus, the newly prepared composite PCMs are potential candidates for harvesting solar energy for low-temperature heating applications. © 2024 Emerald Publishing Limited: All rights reserved.
