Beside the active heating technologies, thermal energy storage is strategically important for the future of low carbon heating. The seasonal solar thermal energy storage (SSTES) is aimed to achieve ''free'' heating by storing solar heat in summer and releasing heat in winter [2].One of the key performance indicator of a SSTES is the volumetric energy density.
ATES involves three primary energy storage systems: Sensible Heat Storage, utilizing materials like water or rocks to store heat; Latent Heat Storage, using materials that change state; and Thermochemical Energy Storage, which stores energy in chemical bonds and releases it when a chemical reaction is reversed.
A thermochemical energy storage (TCES) system stores energy via a reversible chemical reaction. The chemical reactions for charging and discharging heat are endothermic and exothermic reactions, respectively. Two types of TCES systems are discussed in the literature: sorption-based TCES and reaction-based TCES.
