Modification of urea–sodium acetate trihydrate mixture for solar energy storage

The system urea–sodium acetate trihydrate has been mentioned in the literature as an energy storage system. Due to its low melting point (30 °C), the system is not suitable for use in a hot climate. Modifying the system composition is shown in the present work through adding lead acetate trihydrate to the binary mixture in the ratio of 16.6% with the object of raising its melting point to a practical value. A melting point of 44.5 °C could be reached for the new system.
