Development and analysis of anodic aluminium oxide composites for thermochemical energy storage systems

Global energy demand is increasing due to improvements in the industrial world and increasing world population. The fact that existing energy sources are exhausted has led their work to renewable energy sources. However, renewable energy sources are not limitless. Supply-demand imbalance is an obstacle to the use of these resources. According to all these, 'energy storage' has become an important topic in many areas of the sector in recent years. Thermal energy storage (TES) is seen as a promising technology in renawable energy systems. As an evolving technology, TES systems are an effective way to achieve the sustainable use of energy. In this study, new composite material “high energy density storage salts with honeycomb filter form Anodic Aluminum Oxide (AAO) template” is fabricated its application for the low temperature thermal energy storage systems. Therefore AAO templates with pores were controlled were used. Then, having different energy storage capacities of salts and complex salts were absorbed by the vacuum method into these known pores of diameter and length. The energy storage capacities of these composite materials obtained using different salts were compared.
