Energy storage and refractory materials

What are energy storage materials?

Energy Storage Materials is an international multidisciplinary journal dedicated to materials and their devices for advanced energy storage. It covers relevant energy conversion topics such as metal-O2 batteries and publishes comprehensive research.

What is the focus of the journal 'Energy Storage Materials'?

'Energy Storage Materials' is an international multidisciplinary journal for communicating scientific and technological advances in the field of materials and their devices for advanced energy storage and relevant energy conversion.

What are high entropy materials?

The emergence of high-entropy materials (HEMs) with their excellent mechanical properties, stability at high temperatures, and high chemical stability is poised to yield new advancement in the performance of energy storage and conversion technologies.

What is thermal storage?

Thermal storage provides long storage durations and utilizes either the sensible or latent heat of a material with high specific heat. Energy is stored and retrieved by cycling the temperature.

What chemistry can be used for large-scale energy storage?

Another Na-based chemistry of interest for large-scale energy storage is the Na-NiCl 2 (so called, ZEBRA) 55, 57 battery that typically operates at 300°C and provides 2.58 V.

Are high entropy oxides good for hydrogen storage?

In electrochemical energy storage systems, high-entropy oxides and alloys have shown superior performance as anode and cathode materials with long cycling stability and high capacity retention. Also, when used as metal hydrides for hydrogen storage, remarkably high hydrogen storage capacity and structural stability are observed for HEMs.
