Phase change energy storage technology using phase change materials (PCMs) is a viable solution to effectively address the heat dissipation problems of electronic devices. Herein, we proposed to prepare a modified PCM using CH3COONa center dot 3H(2)O (SAT) as main PCM, 9 wt% DL-Alanine (DL) as temperature modifier, and 2 wt% Na2HPO4 center dot 12H(2)O as nucleating agent. Calculations using density functional theory method confirmed that the adjustment of DL on phase change temperature of SAT was originated from the hydrogen bond between them. Then, the modified PCM was loaded into 14 wt% expa...
