Abstract
Highly porous phase change aerogels (PCA) were developed via hybridization of polyethylene glycol (PEG) with cellulosic scaffolds. PCA was tested as lightweight bio-based thermoregulating materials for passive energy storage and insulation purposes. The PCA displayed a high latent energy storage up to 160 J/g and mechanical resistance. The PCA systems effectively regulated the air temperature inside a model wooden box exposed to temperature variation induced by irradiation. This is a promising alternative material for insulation and passive energy storage usable in smart building, electronics, and packaging.
