Zinc nitrate hexahydrate, an inorganic phase change material, can store high latent heat during its phase change, but it has significant phase transition defects, including form instability, a high degree of supercooling, and phase separation issues. Zinc nitrate hexahydrate/expanded perlite (EP) co...
