| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In adsorption/desorption process, it is often important to control adsorption and desorption heats for its stable operation. Thus, the objective of this study is to develop phase-change-material loaded adsorbents for rapid removal and reuse of adsorption and desorption heats. Specifically, carbon nanotube was used as a base material. The external surface of the nanotube can be modified with several types of functional groups, which provides different types of adsorption selectivity for the external surface. On the other hand, PCM was introduced to the mesopores of the nanotube, which provides the function of heat absorption and radiation for the mesopores. This realizes instant heat transfer, because the distance between the adsorption site and PCM is nanometer scale.
