Title

High-Power/Energy-Density Thermal Energy Storage and Thermal Management

Abstract

Energy storage is one of key technologies for realizing the energy transformation from fossil fuels to renewable energy, and has been regarded as an emerging strategic field for energy utilization in China. Thermal energy storage has the distinct advantages of high safe, low cost, and easy scalability. Thermal energy storage, conversion and utilization play an important role in promoting energy transformation and achieving the carbon neutrality. This presentation will reveal the close relation between thermal energy storage and carbon neutrality, synthesis of high-performance thermal storage materials, new methods for thermal conductivity enhancement, new principles of high-power/energy-density thermal energy storage, combined cold & heat energy storage of sorption thermal battery, advanced thermodynamical cycles for integrated energy storage and thermal regulation, smart thermal management, etc.
