Effect of pyrolysis temperature on the thermal energy storage performance of sesame plant biochar

초록

This study is aimed to understand the effect of pyrolysis temperature on the biochar synthesis for shape stabilizing the Lauric acid (LA). Three different temperatures (350, 500, and 650 ℃) have been chosen with a soaking time of 1h for synthesizing biochars form sesame plants (SP). The structural characterizations indicate the formation of amorphous biochar at 350 ℃ whereas, a stain of graphene formation has been observed for the biochar synthesized at 500 ℃. Formation of a substantial amount of graphene has been found for the sample, synthesized at 650 ℃. Energy storage performances of the PCMs which are shape stabilized by these three biochars have been discussed in this paper.
