What are energy storage materials?

Energy Storage Materials is an international multidisciplinary journal dedicated to materials and their devices for advanced energy storage. It covers relevant energy conversion topics such as metal-O2 batteries and publishes comprehensive research.

What are high entropy battery materials?

Abstract High-entropy battery materials (HEBMs) have emerged as a promising frontier in energy storage and conversion, garnering significant global research interest. These materials are characterized by their unique structural properties, compositional complexity, entropy-driven stabilization, superionic conductivity, and low activation energy.

What is a thermal energy storage material?

During discharge, the thermal energy storage material transfers thermal energy to drive the heat pump in reverse mode to generate power, as well as lower-grade heat that can be used in various other applications.

What are the different modes of thermal energy storage?

Various modes of thermal energy storage are known. Sensible heat storage represents the thermal energy uptake owing to the heat capacity of the materials over the operational temperature range. In latent-heat mode, the energy is stored in a reversible phase transition of a phase change material (PCM).

Can thermal energy storage materials revolutionize the energy storage industry?

Thermal energy storage materials 1, 2 in combination with a Carnot battery 3, 4, 5 could revolutionize the energy storage sector. However, a lack of stable, inexpensive and energy-dense thermal energy storage materials impedes the advancement of this technology.

What is a 'trimodal' thermal energy storage material?

However, a lack of stable, inexpensive and energy-dense thermal energy storage materials impedes the advancement of this technology. Here we report the first, to our knowledge, ‘trimodal’ material that synergistically stores large amounts of thermal energy by integrating three distinct energy storage modes—latent, thermochemical and sensible.
