Insights into utilization of strontium carbonate for thermochemical energy storage

The reversible dissociation/carbonation of metal carbonates, performed in fluidized bed reactors, is one of the most promising technological solution for thermochemical energy storage (TCES) in concentrating solar power plants (CSP). In this framework, the SrCO3/SrO system is receiving increasing interest due to its high energy density (4 GJ/m3) and working temperatures (up to 1200 °C). As the more investigated CaCO3/CaO couple, also SrO...
