Antareticite, a mineral with composition CaCl2·6H2O and structure P321, is an ideal phase change material (PCM) due to the high energy storage density and good thermal conductivity.However, the existence of supercooling and incongruent meltiug would weaken its thermal properties and then hinder its application.
