A French SME founded in 2023 presents a patented concept of storage heat technology, developed with a research center. The solution is based on an innovative technology exploiting the latent heat of a phase change material.
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.
A Thermal Energy Storage system is part of the Long Duration Energy Storage System (LDES). It is considered a primary alternative to solar and wind energy. In 2020, the global market for Thermal Energy Storage was valued at $20.8 billion and is expected to increase and reach $51.3 billion by 2030.
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.
This startup's technology stores energy as heat (in molten salt) and cold (in a chilled liquid) using a thermo-electric energy storage system. It is a flexible, low-cost, and adaptable utility-scale solution for storing energy at high efficiency over long periods of time.
In the present paper, we report a long-term heat-storage ceramic, scandium-substituted lambda-trititanium-pentoxide, absorbing thermal energy by a solid-solid phase transition below boiling temperature of water. The ceramic can repeatedly use thermal energy by pressure and heating.
