Abstract

MgO and Mg(OH)₂ with porous structure were prepared using different types of precipitating agents, including NaOH, KOH, NH₃ with paomic acid (PA) and NH₃CO₃ by hydrothermal method at 200°C for 24 hr. Among the used agents, only NaOH provided single phase MgO powder, after calcination of the precipitate for 2 hr at 400°C. The NH₃ with PA system increased the thermal stability of the as-synthesized Mg(OH)₂. The synthesized MgO and/or Mg(OH)₂ were used to confine blended polyethylene glycol (PEG, MW 1000 and 6000, 1:1 wt.%) and formed a phase change composite where MgO and Mg(OH)₂ served as a matrix to accommodate blended PEG. Both MgO and Mg(OH)₂ matrix protected the PEG liquid leakage during the phase transition. The SEM analysis of the composite revealed that considerable amount of PEG was occupying within the pores, well-dispersed on the surfaces of the magnesium oxide porous structure which stabilized by capillary forces and the surface tension. The results of the differential scanning calorimetry demonstrated that the transition freezing temperature of the composite was 28.50°C, while the melting point was 58.10°C in the case of Mg(OH)₂ matrix. The latent heat of melting was 165 J/g, which is greatly higher than those with the commonly available materials. This property indicates that the synthesized MgO and Mg(OH)₂ composite is a promising material for solar applications including, storing energy with good thermal stability.
