Understanding Hydration Transitions of CaBr₂.

ABSTRACT: Due to climate change and the energy transition, energy storage applications are being studied and developed. One energy storage application is a heat storage battery, which needs materials that can store and release heat with high energy storage capacity. One such material is a salt hydrate. The hydration pathways of salt hydrates can have different numbers of steps. There are salts with single-hydrate steps like for CuCl₂ (0-2) and LiBr (0-1) and multihydrate steps like for MgCl₂ (0-2-4-6) and SrCl₂ (0-1-2-6). Additionally, there are also salts with complex hydration-dehydration pathways like for CaCl₂ (0-1/3-2-1-0). Little is known about the hydrate steps of CaBr₂. The crystal structures of the CaBr₂ nona-, hexa-, and anh
