  • Redox-active oxide materials for thermal energy storage
    Patent number: 11339766
    Abstract: Thermochemical storage materials having the general formula AxA?1-xByB?1-yO3-?, where A=La, Sr, K, Ca, Ba, Y and B=Mn, Fe, Co, Ti, Ni, Cu, Zr, Al, Y, Cr, V, Nb, Mo, are disclosed. These materials have improved thermal storage energy density and reaction kinetics compared to previous materials. Concentrating solar power thermochemical systems and methods capable of storing heat energy by using these thermochemical storage materials are also disclosed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 18, 2019
