Abstract

Heat storage is a feature that can be used in many components or applications. In the case of phase change materials (PCMs), the performance in heat storage will depend on the latent heat when the phase change occurs. Solid–solid PCMs are an improvement over traditional solid–liquid PCMs because problems related to their leak-off and limited applications are eliminated. Vanadium dioxide (VO2) is a material that has been shown to be a PCM in the monoclinic phase (M). In this work, VO2 nanoparticles were synthesized by the hydrothermal and post-vacuum annealing method at a relatively low temperature. The relationship between the effect of annealing temperature and morphology on the heat storage capacity of VO2 nanoparticles is evaluated. The results show that the VO2 nanoparticles resulting from the 300 to 500 °C vacuum annealing presented the endothermic and exothermic peaks for the reversible transition of monoclinic VO2 to the rutile (R) phase. The highest latent heat of 22.87 Jg− 1 for the VO2 annealed at 500 °C. The VO2(M) nanoparticles presented good thermal stability and oxidation resistance below 265 °C with excellent cycling stability for at least 20 thermal cycles, which could be promising for technical application in thermal energy management.
