Thermochemical energy storage using coupled metal hydride beds of Mg-LaNi5 composites and LaNi5 based hydrides for concentrated solar power plants

A study of the magnetic properties of LaNi5 and their effect on hydrogen desorption under the action of a magnetostatic field

“…Scientists have used several methods including controlled substitution. Improving the storage capacity of the LaNi 5 compound through the addition of other metals such as Sn, Fe, Al, Co, etc.. to give the material new properties is common [ [17] , [18] , [19] , [20] , [21] ]. The majority of these studies have demonstrated that the substituted compounds do not have the same properties as the parent compounds.…”

Performance investigation of LiCl·H2O-γ-Al2O3 composite materials for low-grade heat storage

“…Various TCS materials have been studied, such as metal salts with water, 19,20 ammonia, [21][22][23] methanol, 24,25 or metal alloys with hydrogen. 26,27 In a relevant research article, Cot-Gores et al reported that water as an environmentally friendly adsorbate could meet the requirements of safety system, and crystalline hydrate as a heat storage material had a good development prospect. 28 Hygroscopic salts like LiCl, LiBr, KBr, and CaCl 2 can be used as suitable heat storage materials.…”
