Salt impregnated desiccant matrices for ‘open’ thermochemical energy conversion and storage: improving energy density utilisation through hygrodynamic & thermodynamic reactor design

In this study, the performance of three nano-composite energy storage absorbents; Vermiculite-CaCl2 (SIM-3a), Vermiculite-CaCl2-LiNO3 (SIM-3f), and the desiccant Zeolite 13X were experimentally investigated for suitability to domestic scale thermal energy storage. A novel 3 kWh open thermochemical r...
