Features: This book is a comprehensive monograph on energy storage materials and technologies in China. Energy conversion and storage technology is a new type of energy-saving technology that has garnered increasing attention both domestically and internationally. Since 1983, the Guangzhou Institute of Energy of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has been researching thermal energy storage technology and has completed multiple projects funded by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Guangdong Province, and the National Natural Science Foundation of China, achieving numerous research results. Based on this foundation, the book systematically and rigorously discusses the fundamental principles of energy storage, the thermodynamic basis, the performance requirements, selection methods, and thermal property measurements of energy storage materials. It introduces the principles and technical characteristics of various energy storage technologies, including electrical energy, mechanical energy, thermal energy, chemical energy, and hydrate energy storage. The book places particular emphasis on discussing mature technologies such as ice storage air conditioning, electrical energy storage, heat storage heating, gas hydrate energy storage, chemical energy storage, and their applications. The book covers the main research and application fields of energy storage technology, including daily life, building energy conservation, the development of new energy technologies, and transportation.
