A review on phase change energy storage: materials and applications
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the phase change materials (PCM) and their application in energy storage is presented, where the main advantages of encapsulation are providing large heat transfer area, reduction of the PCMs reactivity towards the outside environment and controlling the changes in volume of the storage materials as phase change occurs.

A review of materials, heat transfer and phase change problem formulation for latent heat thermal energy storage systems (LHTESS)
TL;DR: In this paper, the phase change problem has been formulated using pure conduction approach but the problem has moved to a different level of complexity with added convection in the melt being accounted for, which makes it difficult for comparison to be made to assess the suitability of PCMs to particular applications.

Studies on Salt Hydrates for Latent Heat Storage. IV. Crystallization in the Binary System CH3CO2Na–H2O
TL;DR: In this article, the binary system CH3CO2Na·3H2O is characterized as follows; (1) crystallization region of ice extends into the CH3 CO2Na-rich side from the eutectic composition, (2) a hard crystallisation region exists in the composition between CH 3CO 2Na 35wt% and 40wt%, and (3) the crystallization temperature range of CH 3 CO 2 Na·3 H2O was from −50 °C to −30 °C and very narrow.
