At 100 megawatt hours, the German project will be tied with a Rondo heat battery that entered service in California in ...

A new heat storage material could help to significantly improve the energy efficiency of buildings. Developed by researchers at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) and the University of ...

Researchers have developed a heat storage unit that takes up less space than a regular hot water tank. It charges when ...

Renewable energy sources are becoming increasingly popular. However, such energy can be wasted if an excess is available when it’s not yet needed. A particularly relevant example is solar power; solar ...

Improving the efficiency of heating and cooling systems - especially through thermal energy storage - offers one of the ...

There is an increasing need to look deeper into the technologies that make renewable energy more possible - one of them is thermal energy storage (TES). TES is a versatile technology that can be used ...

Scientists at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) and the University of Leipzig in Germany have developed a new heat-storage material. They claim it improves the energy efficiency of ...

Control of crystallite size in layered MnO₂ materials enables a dual-mode heat storage mechanism: conventional interlayer water intercalation and newly activated surface adsorption. As the nanosheets ...

A team of Engineers from Australia’s Newcastle University have developed and patented a thermal energy storage block, approximately the size of a large brick, which its inventors say is ideal for ...

Essentially, when the material is exposed to enough heat the water molecules stored inside it gain energy and are released to the air around it. This now-dehydrated material effectively stores that ...
