(author)We have experimentally determined the main thermodynamic properties of SrCl2, a potentially promising salt for thermochemical heat storage. We found a high energy density of 2.4 ± 0.1 GJ/m3 and proved full cyclability for at least 10 cycles going from the anhydrate to the hexahydrate without chemical degradation. We have experimentally...article 2022

Mazur, N. (author), Salviati, S. (author), Huinink, H. (author), Fina, A. (author), Carioso, A. (author), Fisher, P. (author), Adan, O. (author)Thermochemical heat storage (TCHS) in salt hydrates attracts increasing interest due to the high energy density combined with loss-free storage. Strontium bromide hexahydrate (SBH), and composites thereof, are often suggested as suitable materials for this application. Although many aspects of SBH composites have been thoroughly investigated,...article 2022

Aarts, J. (author), de Jong, S. (author), Cotti, M. (author), Donkers, P. (author), Fischer, H. (author), Adan, O.C.G. (author), Huinink, H. (author)Potassium carbonate is a promising salt for thermochemical heat storage. For an application mm-sized salt hydrate particles are manufactured to be loaded inside a reactor. The step towards larger particles is necessary to prevent a large pressure drop over the reactor bed during hydration/dehydration in a given air flow. Therefore, in this work...article 2022

(author), Meuris, M. (author), Theelen, M.J. (author)A round robin test was carried out in four PV laboratories to compare accelerated lifetime testing. Twenty commercial non-packaged CIGS solar cells of similar performance were spread and exposed to damp heat con-ditions (85 ◦C and 85% RH) for approximately 500 h. Their JV performance was monitored during the damp heat exposure. After the test,...article 2021

Karabanova, A. (author), Berdiyeva, P. (author), van der Pal, M. (author), Johnsen, R.E. (author), Deledda, S. (author), Blanchard, D. (author)Thermochemical heat storage is expected to play an important role in the ongoing transformation of the European energy system. The efficiency of thermochemical heat storage systems largely depends on that of the reactor, since it limits the amount of the heat stored per unit volume as well as the rate of the heat recovery. Thus, the optimization...article 2021

(author)Salt hydrates are promising candidates for the long-term thermochemical heat storage (TCES) in thebuilding environment. In such storage systems, the surplus of energy will be exploited in an endothermicreaction to dehydrate the salt hydrates. Once it is demanded, the stored energy will be released throughan exothermic reaction by hydrating the...article 2021
