摘要: The implementation of thermal energy storage (TES) can improve the efficiency of existing industrial processes, and enable new applications that require the uptake/release of heat on-demand. Among the myriad strategies for TES, thermochemical hydration/dehydration reactions are arguably the most promising due to their high energy densities, simplicity, cost effectiveness, and potential for reversibility at moderate temperatures. The present study uses first-principles calculations to identify TES materials that can out-perform known …
