Abstract

A novel multi-form thermochemical energy storage method is proposed for high energy-density thermal energy storage based on multi-step sorption processes. The proposed multi-form thermochemical energy storage combines the physisorption energy storage of a porous matrix, the chemisorption energy storage of a salt hydrate, and the absorption energy storage of the salt solution. High-performance composite sorbent of MgCl2@zeolite was prepared to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed multi-form thermochemical energy storage. The water uptake contributions of physisorption, chemisorption and absorption of the composite sorbent were measured by a “three-step” hydration method. The multi-step desorption processes measured by TG at an extremely slow heating rate shows the apparent decrease of decomposition temperature of MgCl2 hydrates in zeolite matrix. The maximum sorption capacity of the MgCl2@zeolite composite sorbent without solution leakage is as high as 0.55 g/g and its gravimetric and volumetric thermal energy densities reach 1368 kJ/kg and 308 kWh/m3 respectively with charging temperature of 200 °C. This gravimetric energy density is about 2.26 times higher than that of pure zeolite 13X. The experimental results verified that the proposed multi-form thermochemical energy storage is an effective method to improve sorption capacity and to achieve high energy-density thermal storage.
