Materials like molten salts and phase-change materials are commonly used due to their high heat capacity and ability to store and release thermal energy efficiently. Mechanical energy storage systems, such as flywheels and compressed air energy storage (CAES), are used to store kinetic or potential energy.
Energy storage materials refer to substances that store energy in various forms, such as thermal, chemical, electrical, and electrochemical energy, and are used in devices like batteries, supercapacitors, and fuel cells for applications ranging from small microbatteries to large-scale electric vehicles.
Materials for chemical and electrochemical energy storage are key for a diverse range of applications, including batteries, hydrogen storage, sunlight conversion into fuels, and thermal energy storage.
