Thermal stability is one of the essential factors to evaluate the application direction of materials. Some reactions may depend on the thermal decomposition of solids, but for many materials the thermal instability may be the unsolved question. Is there any review or article discussing about the drawback of the thermal instability of solids and the existing method of improving the thermal stability?
The attached article can give you a generalised opinion on the subject.
Dear Brother, thermal stability tests are quite common for PCM work due to most of the researchers want to know if it has degradation. Some adsorbents and PCM could be the same. But you could still do some jobs about the thermal and mechanical stability due to the relative less research work. But it may take more time. You could refer to the references e.g.
