Tunable Composite Salt Hydrates for Thermochemical Heat Batteries

project information

project description

The Tunable Composite Salt Hydrates for Thermochemical Heat Batteries project, part of TKI Urban Energy, is an ongoing initiative focused on integrating membrane technology with advanced heat storage materials to provide efficient thermal energy storage solutions for households. By combining these technologies, the project aims to develop compact and scalable systems using salt hydrates that can store heat through reversible chemical reactions.

Membrane technology plays a crucial role by enabling controlled water vapor transport during the absorption and desorption processes, enhancing the efficiency and lifespan of the thermochemical materials. This approach allows households to store excess heat from renewable sources, such as solar thermal systems, and use it during periods of high demand, such as cold winter nights.

Targeted at domestic applications, this project supports the transition to sustainable home energy systems by reducing reliance on traditional heating methods and lowering carbon footprints. The focus on household-level integration makes it a practical solution for promoting energy independence and sustainability in residential settings.
