Encapsulation of polar phase change materials via multiemulsification and crosslinking method and its application in building
Review of Inorganic Salt Hydrates with Phase Change Temperature in Range of 5 to 60°C and Material Cost Comparison with Common Waxes
TL;DR: In this article, the phase change materials (PCMs) with desirable phase change temperatures can be used to provide a constant temperature thermal source or sink for diverse applications, and incorporating PCMs into building materials, equipment or appliances can shift and/or reduce the energy load.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization and numerical simulation on heat transfer performance of inorganic phase change thermal storage devices
TL;DR: Inorganic hydrated salt Ba(OH)2⋅8H2O is one of most potential thermal storage materials in the low-medium temperature range due to its highest latent heat per unit volume as mentioned in this paper.

Thermal energy storage using sodium sulfate decahydrate and water
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the major problem preventing use of sodium sulfate decahydrate for thermal energy storage can be avoided by using the composition which is at or slightly to the water-rich side of the invariant point in the phase diagram.

Thermal energy storage for solar heating and off-peak air conditioning
TL;DR: Parametric designs for two latent heat materials (sodium thiosulfate pentahydrate and a paraffin wax) and for a sensible heat material (a 1:1 mixture of water and ethylene glycol) were compared as to cost, performance, and space requirements.

An investigation of the thermal energy storage capacity of Glauber's salt with respect to thermal cycling
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the thermal energy storage capacity of the unthickened mixture to the thickened mixture as a function of thermal cycling and showed a significant improvement in performance of the thinnened mixture over that of the Glauber's salt and borax mixture.
