Abstract

Porous materials with high adsorption capacity can enhance the efficiency of water-based adsorption heat transformation systems. The composites salt in porous matrix (CSPM) are considered to be very promising materials. In this paper, the UIO-66-NH2 and UIO-66-NO2 metal-organic framework were used as the porous matrix to synthesize composites with CaCl2 as the hygroscopic salt. The water adsorption and desorption performance of the composite materials were studied, and the cycle stability was investigated in a continuous adsorption-desorption experiment. As a result, the hydrophilic UIO-66 based composites exhibited higher water adsorption and heat storage capacity. CaCl2@UIO-66-NH2 achieved a water adsorption capacity of 0.84 g/g at 60% relative humidity (RH) and an energy storage density of 1858 J/g. In addition, the hydrophilic UIO-66 based composites exhibited excellent cycle stability, with the quality decreasing by less than 5% after ten adsorption-desorption cycles.
