Sorption and thermal characterization of composite materials based on chlorides for thermal energy storage

Preparation and application of composite EG/Ba(OH)2 ·8H2 O form-stable phase change material for solar thermal storage

“…Intermittent availability of energy can be solved, and energy efficiency can be increased by transferring thermal energy to a higher extent . Phase change thermal storage is a technology by using high‐density latent heat to store up energy, in which phase change material (PCM) can keep the temperature constant in the process of melting or solidification.…”

High-Order Ca(II)–Chloro Complexes in Mixed CaCl2–LiCl Aqueous Solution: Insights from Density Functional Theory and Molecular Dynamics Simulations

“…1-4 Inorganic CaCl 2 salt plays vital roles in many biochemical processes 1,2 and is a major component of the geothermal brines [5][6][7] and energy storage materials. [8][9][10] This great importance has prompted numerous studies on CaCl 2 aqueous solutions, both experimentally [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] and theoretically, [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] in recent decades. In the published works, ion-associated characteristics in CaCl 2 aqueous solutions, in particular contact ion pair (CIP) which was firstly proposed by Phutela and Pitzer 11 to explain an anomaly in the thermodynamic behavior in near 5.0 mol·kg -1 CaCl 2 aqueous solutions, were generally suspected.…”

Task 42 Annex 29 Position Paper and All Final Deliverable Papers

“…Surprisingly the experiments showed that the cycle stability did not change despite the presence of over-hydration. Also the impregnation of salt hydrates into porous carbon materials and vermiculite prevented deliquescence and improved the diffusion of water vapor into the material, the cycle stability and heat conductivity [31,32], but decreased the energy density. Heat exchanger modelling and lab scale experiments were done with MgCl 2 ·6H 2 O [33].…”
