The First Step Found For A Solar Powered Heat Battery

January 6, 2021 | Leave a Comment

Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Lancaster University researchers are studying a crystalline material and discovered it has properties that allow it to capture heat energy from the sun. The energy can be stored for several months at room temperature, and it can be released on demand in the form of heat. With further development, these kinds of materials could […]

Now There Is a Heat Battery Design

November 21, 2017 | 8 Comments

Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers have created a material for a chemical heat ‘battery’ that could release its energy on demand. The new phase-change material provides a way to store heat in a stable chemical form, then release it later, on demand, using light as a trigger. A good example for its use is that […]
