Mazur, N. (author), Huinink, H. (author), Fischer, H. (author), Donkers, P. (author), Adan, O. (author)Potassium carbonate (K2CO3) is a promising thermochemical heat storage material (TCM). However, it suffers from hysteresis between (de)hydration temperatures and poor reaction kinetics close to equilibrium conditions. Both aspects are caused by a nucleation barrier and low ionic mobility close to equilibrium. This study investigates the impact...article 2022
