Energy plays an important role in a fast‐paced modern society. With the depletion of fossil
energy, effective utilization of solar energy is getting increasingly urgent. Thermal energy …

Solar thermal energy represents an increasingly attractive renewable source. However, to
provide continuous availability of this energy, it must be stored. This paper presents the state …

This chapter concerns thermal and thermochemical energy conversion and storage with a
specific focus on materials. It consists of 6 sections. Section 1 introduces the background …

Energy harvested from the sun is capable of achieving the required residential and industrial
energy demands. Thermal energy storage (TES) is a potential option for storing low-grade …

Thermo-chemical storage is an indirect way to store heat. The heat is not stored directly as
sensible or latent heat but by way of a physico-chemical process like adsorption or …
