Abstract
Abstract
Cesium tungsten bronze (CsxWO3)-doped PEG/sweet potato form-stable composites are fabricated through a facile two-step method of lyophilization and vacuum impregnation. Abundant starch microsphere enhances the PEG loading capacity above 72 % and also supplies capillary force as well as hydrogen bonding to improve the form-stability of the composites. Here, the latent heat, relative crystallinity (Xc), and light-thermal conversion efficiency of the system with 0.99 wt% CsxWO3 reach to 137.7 J/g, 97.7 %, and 83.5 %, respectively. The light-thermal conversion efficiency increases from 64.3 % to 91.1 % with 2.00 wt% CsxWO3. Besides, the composites exhibit improved thermal stability and excellent thermal reliability. The prepared bio-based composites with low-cost have broad application prospects in the field of energy storage.
