The inherent thermal characteristics, supercooling phenomenon, and corrosion issues associated with salt hydrate phase change materials (PCMs) limit their practical applications. In this research work, we report a newly formulated eutectic salt hydrate PCM using a) sodium sulphate decahydrate (SSD) & b) sodium phosphate dibasic dodecahydrate (SPDD); with a focus on customizing its properties to enhance its suitability for low temperature thermal regulation (achieving a melting point of 27.8 °C and a high heat storage capacity of 215 J/g). Additionally, we have successfully reduced the degree of supercooling and introduced corrosion resistant properties to this PCM. To enhance both the thermal energy transfer rate and optical absorbance of the eutectic PCM, we have incorporated one-dimensional (1D) multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) at various weight fractions, extending up to 0.9 %, utilizing a two-step method. The dispersion and chemical stability of SSD/SPDD + MWCNT nanocomposite
