Abstract
and 137.86 °C, respectively. Besides, analysis of the chemical and crystal structures of MA, PW and MA-PW revealed no chemical reaction between MA and PW to produce a new molecular structure and no change in the crystal structure. Finally, MA-PW binary eutectic PCM still has good thermal properties and chemical stability after 500 cold-hot cycles.
