Abstract:
Aiming at the low thermal conductivity of copper-aluminum composite metal oxides materials,this article improves the thermal conductivity of copper-based heat storage materials by composite thermal conductivity phase zinc oxide,explores the mechanism of thermal conductivity lifting and the reaction characteristics.The results demonstrate that the solid media continuity of the copperaluminum-zinc composite metal oxide Cu
9Al
1Zn
3 is improved,leading to a reduction in porosity and a significant 71%increase in thermal conductivity.Moreover,the oxidation-reduction reaction is found to be reversible,with the reduction/oxidation reaction time decreasing from 1.45 min/4.48 min of Cu
9Al
1 to 1.16 min/2.82 min.The cycle performance is stable,the reduction/oxidation reaction rates of Cu

1Zn
3 remain 98.32%/94.26%after 200 high-temperature cycles.Additionally,the heat storage density of Cu
9Al
1Zn
3 can reach 1073.24 kJ/kg.The reduction/oxidation reaction time of Cu

1Zn
3 module decreases from 30.4 min/24.5 min of Cu
9Al
1 to 20.5 min/22.9 min in the module heat storage test,uniquely accelerating the reaction rate and shortening reaction time,which can effectively respond to thermal storage and release more quickly and provide guidance for subsequent practical applications.
