Thermal Energy Storage | Thermal Energy Group
Our team is developing thermochemical material (TCM)-based thermal energy storage. In a TCM, energy is stored in reversibly forming and breaking chemical bonds. TCMs have the fundamental advantage of significantly higher theoretical energy densities (200 to 600 kWh/m3) than phase change materials (PCMs; 50 to 150 kWh/m3).
