6 FAQs about [Materials for high temperature energy storage]

Which material is best suited for thermal energy storage?

Recent reviews , , , have shown that, in the case of metals, aluminium and its alloys are favoured for thermal energy storage applications. Maximum effectiveness arises when the outlet temperature of the HTF is the same as the phase change temperature.

What is high temperature thermal energy storage?

High temperature thermal energy storage offers a huge energy saving potential in industrial applications such as solar energy, automotive, heating and cooling, and industrial waste heat recovery. However, certain requirements need to be faced in order to ensure an optimal performance, and to further achieve widespread deployment.

What materials can be used for a heat storage system?

These include graphite, magnesia, alumina, silicon carbide, high alumina concrete and cement, cast iron and stainless steel. Navarro et al. have also evaluated low cost materials derived from mining and metallurgical industries for solid sensible heat storage systems, and compared them using the CES database.

What materials need to be stored at high temperatures?

For long-term or short-term storage at high temperatures, the materials with high melting temperatures (of up to 650 °C) are considered as a primary requirement. In CES the materials are classified into six basic families as metals, polymers, elastomers, glasses, ceramics and hybrids/composites.

What is thermal energy storage?

Thermal energy storage is based on either sensible heat storage (SHS), or latent heat storage (LHS) using a phase change material (PCM). Sensible heat storage involves storing energy in the form of heat by changing the internal energy of a material without phase change, and the temperature of the material varies with the amount of heat stored.

Can metals and alloys be used for high temperature latent heat storage?

Conclusions The CES package has been used to identify metals and alloys as potential candidate materials for high temperature latent heat storage application in the temperature range 400–750 °C. Certain eutectic compositions in binary and multicomponent systems, such as Al, Mg, Si, and Zn are useful for high temperature heat storage.
