Structure of phase change energy storage material Ca(NO3)2·4H2O solution

Unveiling the structure of aqueous magnesium nitrate solutions by combining X-ray diffraction and theoretical calculations

“…The formation of this supramolecular hydration layer makes NO 3 − mainly exchange with water molecules in the second hydration layer, and hardly enter the inner hydration layer. But there is no obvious gap in g Ca–O(W) of calcium nitrate solutions, 51 which further confirms the stronger hydration ability of Mg 2+ .…”
