Abstract:
The present invention describes a nucleating agent tailored specifically to the thermal energy storage medium lithium nitrate trihydrate (LiNO3-3H2O), and to the use thereof. Addition of the nucleating agent copper hydroxy nitrate hydrate [Cu3(OH)5(NO3)-2H2O](Likasite) suppresses the undercooling in lithium nitrate trihydrate, forming a superior composite thermal energy storage medium.
