Eberbach, M.C. (author), Huinink, H.P. (author), Shkatulov, A.I. (author), Fischer, H.R. (author), Adan, O.C.G. (author)The hydration of salts has gained particular interest within the frame of thermochemical energy storage. Most salt hydrates expand when absorbing water and shrink when desorbing, which decreases the macroscopic stability of salt particles. In addition, the salt particle stability can be compromised by a transition to an aqueous salt solution,...article 2023
