Stabilization of low-cost phase change materials for thermal energy storage applications

Summary: Sodium sulfate decahydrate (Na2SO4.10H2O, SSD), a low-cost phase change material (PCM), can store thermal energy. However, phase separation and unstable energy storage capacity (ESC) limit its use. To address these concerns, eight polymer additives—sodium polyacrylate (SPA), carboxymethyl c...
