The MgH 2-Mg system has been identified to be the most attractive high-temperature heat-storage material because of its substantial hydrogen-storage capacity and the high energy density [90]. The cyclic stability of pure MgH 2, however, drops by 75% after 500 cycles, which can be improved by doping with nickel or iron, thus
In high-temperature TES, energy is stored at temperatures ranging from 100°C to above 500°C. High-temperature technologies can be used for short- or long-term storage, similar to low-temperature technologies, and they can also be categorised as sensible, latent and thermochemical storage of heat and cooling (Table 6.4).
