Houben, J. (author), Shkatulov, A. (author), Huinink, H. (author), Fischer, H. (author), Adan, O. (author)Potassium carbonate has recently been identified as a promising candidate for thermochemical energy storage. However, as for many salt hydrates, its reaction kinetics is relatively slow. KCO has a metastable zone, where the reaction is kinetically hindered, which limits the temperature operating window. This work aims to improve the material...article 2023
