Investigation of Particle Breakdown in the Production of Composite Magnesium Chloride and Zeolite Based Thermochemical Energy Storage Materials

Composite thermochemical energy storage (TCES) represents an exciting field of thermal which could address the issue seasonal variance in renewable supply. However, there are open questions about their performance and root cause some observed phenomena. Some researchers have breakdown particles production phase, use. This study seeks to investigate underlying this breakdown. SEM EDX analysis been conducted on MgCl2 impregnated 13X zeolite composites differing diameters, as well LiX zeolite. was done order level impregnation salt into matrix, effect process has morphology Analysis using ImageJ software diameter particles. It found that a by weight concentration magnesium chloride 11.90% for zeolite, 7.59% 5.26% large small respectively achieved. significantly affects particles, causing fissures form, eventually resulting previously these verified primary factor influencing is efflorescence sub-fluorescence phenomena, leads build-up crystals pores. also prolonged times use high solutions soaking can induce significant crystal growth Results demonstrate optimum host matrix choice conditions. These results will allow design more resilient composite TCES
