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).
1. Introduction. The availability of energy storage is key to accomplish the goal of a decarbonized energy system in response to the threat of climate change and sustainable development; aiming to limit global warming to 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels [1, [2].While energy can be stored in many different forms [[3], [4], [5]], pumped hydro

The three companies that use phase change materials occupy a special position.

The TES systems are generally divided into a closed system (e.g., borehole thermal energy storage: BTES), and an open system (e.g., aquifer thermal energy storage: ATES).
