在温度353 K的乙醇溶液中,采用热回流法合成了热致相变化合物四氯合钴酸铵(1-CnH2n+1NH3)2CoCl4(n=10,18)(分别简写为C10Co、C18Co)及其二元混合物.利用差示扫描量热和X射线法对二元体系进行了表征.根据测定实验数据构筑二元相图,所得相图结果表明,在wC10Co=52.51%(质量分数)处存在中间化合物(1-C10H21NH3)(1-C18H37NH3)CoCl4.相图还包括两个三相线,相对应的两个共析温度分别为(347±1)和(343±1) K,共析点分别在wC10Co=38.50%和wC10Co=69.86%处.并且,在相图的左右边界存在端际固溶体(α、β)及中间区域存在非化学计量相(γ).四氯合钴酸铵及其二元混合体系作为相变材料贮热时,相变温度范围为340-370 K,相变焓大小范围在2.13到141.12 J·g^-1之间.
The thermotropic phase-transition compounds 1-alkylammonium tetrachlorocobaltate (1-CnH2n+1NH3)2CoCl4 (n=10, 18) and a series of their binary mixtures were prepared by solution reflux at 353 K in ethanol solutions. Binary-mixture (1-C10H21NH3)2CoCl4-(1-C18H37NH3)2CoCl4 systems were characterized over the entire composition range using differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction. The phase diagram constructed from the experiments indicated one stable intermediate phase, (1-C10H21NH3)-(1-C18H37NH3)CoCl4, at a mass fraction wC10Co=52.51%, two invariant three-phase equilibria, and two eutectoid temperatures, which are assigned to e1 at (347±1) K, for the eutectoid point with wC10Co=38.50%, and e2 at (343±1) K, for the eutectoid point with wC10Co=69.86%. These three clear solid-solution ranges areα-phase on the left,β-phase on the right, andγ-phase in the middle of the phase diagram. The (1-CnH2n+1NH3)2CoCl4 and their binary-mixture systems as phase change materials have phase-transition temperatures in the range 340-370 K, and transition enthalpies in the range 2.13 and 141.12 J·g^-1, between two polymorphic crystal forms.
