Summary ZnSO 4 ·7H 2 O is a promising thermochemical heat storage material. In this paper, we report a detailed thermodynamic study of ZnSO 4 ·7H 2 O based on hydration/dehydration, cyclicability, and water sorption performance. The TG‐DSC measurements reported that at below 120°C, 1747 and 1298 J g −1 enthalpy was recorded for dehydration and hydration, respectively. The relative‐humidity study showed that at 75% RH (0.148 g/g), the water sorption can be significantly improved compared to lower humidity (65% 0.131). The XRD study highlighted that the main structure of ZnSO 4 after thermal treatment remains unchanged.
