Abstract
Thermal energy storage using phase change materials has several potential modern-day applications. However, to suitably incorporate latent heat energy storage systems economically the challenges of leakage and low thermal conductivity of these materials need to be addressed. In this direction biochar derived from abundantly available biomass feedstocks has been explored to act as a supporting matrix to develop form stable environmentally compatible energy storage material. Biochar has been derived from wheat straw, miscanthus, and softwood and has been analyzed for their surface structure and utilized in the preparation of form-stable phase change material. The developed green phase change-bio composite has been thoroughly evaluated for its chemical and thermal properties. The melting solidification behavior of the material has been studied through IR imaging. The properties of the form stable phase change-bio composite synthesized are found to have properties suited for its application in the field of thermal management of photovoltaic modules, electronic devices, and buildings.
