Накратко на български
Нови материали, базирани на обратими химични реакции в твърдо състояние, се разработват за съхранение на топлина при 300-800°C. Това помага за по-ефективното използване на възобновяемата енергия, като балансира разликите между производството и потреблението ѝ.

Solid-state reactions for thermal energy storage
The building of a low carbon society is linked to the increasing of renewable energy sources together with the improvement of energy efficiency. The transition towards renewable energy sources causes situation where, time to time, the production of energy can exceed the demand and vice versa. The storage of the energy is the solution to overcome this problem allowing a constant supply of energy when energy demand and supply do not much. In particular, thermal energy storage (TES) is a key component for the sustainable and efficient use of energy resources involving heat. The development of suitable materials for TES, fulfilling a large number of requirements (high storage capacity, good thermal conductivity, mechanical and chemical stability, complete reversibility in charging/discharging cycles, affordable cost etc.) is a fundamental aspect in TES technologies. For this reason, basic research challenges in designing materials (materials improvement/new materials development) and development of related technologies (advanced storage systems) are the most important issues to be faced. The project SOLSTORE proposes the development of a new kind of materials, based on solid-state reactions, with high potential for cost-effective and compact TES at high temperature (300-800°C). The storage of heat through reversible chemical reactions is very attractive due to the possibility to store great amount of thermal energy in form of chemical energy. The development of TCS based on solid-state reactions is a new storage concept with the potentiality to contribute to the development of low-cost, compact heat storage technologies. The expected advantages of using solid-state reaction are: i) simple reaction mechanisms compared to other types of thermo-chemical storage (e.g. gas-solid reactions), ii) in contrast to gas-solid reactions, no phase separation is required, contributing to the design of simpler storage systems, iii) possible direct contact of the storage material with the heat transfer fluid (no heat exchanger/lower cost). The overall objectives of the projects include i) the identification and theoretical analysis of solid-state reactions of interest for TES; ii) the development of a strategy to maximize the reactivity in the solid state; iii) the evaluation of the performances of the materials developed in terms of thermal energy storage for the possible integration in real applications.

Цел на проекта
In this project proposal reversible solid-state chemical reactions (eutectoids, peritectoids) are proposed for the storing of thermal energy at high temperature (300-800 °C). The development of a novel heat storage concept, based on solid-solid reactions, proposed in this project, could contribute to open new scenarios in the thermal energy storage field. To the best of our knowledge, the use of this class of reactions for TES applications has not been explored so far. The goal of this study is the identification of solid-state reactions fulfilling a large number of scientific and technological requirements (high storage capacity, good thermal conductivity, mechanical and chemical stability, complete reversibility of a charging/discharging cycles etc.). For this scope, an interdisciplinary research strategy will be followed involving materials chemistry, physics and engineering disciplines to achieve a complete overview of their behaviour starting from basic research challenges, focused on the material development and characterization (reactivity, stability, kinetic, reversibility, heat and mass transfer etc.), up to arrive to the investigation of their feasibility in real applications (e.g. concentrated solar power technologies (CSP) and waste heat recovery). During the project a two direction transfer of knowledge will be applied. On one side, an intense training will be offered to the applicant by the host laboratory with the objective to increase his scientific and managerial skills. Secondment in one established European technological center with recognized international expertise in concentrating solar plants (CSP) technologies is also planned. On the other side, the applicant will make available the knowledge and competences matured along his career both to give an impulse to the scientific work and fulfil the objectives set in the project and to explore other funding opportunities and collaborations.
