Optimization of Preparation Method, Nucleating Agent, and Stabilizers for Synthesizing Calcium Chloride Hexahydrate (CaCl<sub>2</sub>.6H<sub>2</sub>O) Phase Change Material

Optimization of Preparation Method, Nucleating Agent, and Stabilizers for Synthesizing Calcium Chloride Hexahydrate (CaCl<sub>2</sub>.6H<sub>2</sub>O) Phase Change Material

This study investigates improvements in low-cost latent heat storage material calcium chloride hexahydrate (CaCl<sub>2</sub>.6H<sub>2</sub>O). Its melting point is between 25 and 28 °C, with relatively high enthalpy (170–190 J/g); however, this phase change material (PCM) sho...
