A study on vermiculite-based salt mixture composite materials for low-grade thermochemical adsorption heat storage (2023)
Journal Article
Chen, Z., Zhang, Y., Zhang, Y., Su, Y., & Riffat, S. (2023). A study on vermiculite-based salt mixture composite materials for low-grade thermochemical adsorption heat storage. Energy, 278(Part B), Article 127986. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.energy.2023.127986

High-performance renewable energy technologies are desired to meet the enormous demand during the clean energy transition. Thermal energy storage can help balance the mismatch between renewable energy supplies and end-user's demands. Thermochemical a...
