Thermal energy storage (TES) is a promising and sustainable method for decreasing the energy consumptions in the building sector. Systems of TES using phase change materials (PCMs) find numerous applications for providing and maintaining a comfortable environment of the building envelope, without consumption of electrical energy or fuel .
Additionally, this method enables control over the distribution and size of sulfur within the core–shell structure, thereby optimizing energy storage performance. The internal cavity of the core–shell architecture reduces material volume expansion during lithiation, thereby improving cycling stability.
One of the main functions of energy storage, to match the supply and demand of energy (called time shifting), is essential for large and small-scale applications. In the following, we show two cases classifi ed by their size: kWh class and MWh class. The third class, the GWh class, will be covered in section 4.2.2.
In the current context of the energy crisis, the development of efficient energy storage devices has become a prominent research area. Battery systems like lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), and lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) have gained considerable interest because of their superior energy density.
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.
Thermal energy storage systems with PCMs have been investigated for several building applications as they constitute a promising and sustainable method for reduction of fuel and electrical energy consumption, while maintaining a comfortable environment in the building envelope.
