Preparation and thermal performance of a novel alloy microencapsulated phase change material (MEPCM)/ceramic composite
TL;DR: In this paper , a double-layer coating, sacrificing inner layer was constructed to accommodate volume expansion of phase change material (PCM) and its thermal performance was studied. And the results showed that the higher the proportion of MEPCM, the better the thermal performance of the MePCM/ceramic composite.

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.
