“…This heat exchange is the basis of thermal energy storage using porous materials. , A large number of existing porous materials, together with the wide variety of working fluids, make the search for the most appropriate adsorbate–adsorbent pair for each application challenging. Within porous materials, the most common adsorbents for adsorption energy storage are silica gels, ,− zeolites, ,,− metal–organic frameworks, ,− and activated carbons (ACs). − Many of these works have suggested porous materials as great candidates for thermal energy-related applications. However, most of the adsorbents have been studied in laboratories, and they are still not ready for large-scale development at the industrial scale.…”
