Abstract
Abstract Thermal energy storage (TES) for storing low-grade energy is a promising approach to achieving higher energy security and minimizing greenhouse gas emissions. TES is shifting towards using thermochemical materials (TCM) since there are several advantages when compared to sensible or phase change materials. However, thermochemical energy storage (TCES) is more complex and thus has not yet been developed commercially. To further develop this technology and bring it closer to commercialization, there needs to be a merging of research from both material and system design viewpoints. At a material level, salt hydrates are considered the most suitable materials for residential applications due to their high energy density (400-870 kWh m−3) and low turning temperature (
