Published at ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering – Optimal Design of an Absorbent-Enhanced Ammonia Synthesis Process for Solar Thermochemical Energy Storage

Abstract: Concentrating solar power systems are crucial for capturing solar energy. However, the intermittent nature of sunlight necessitates effective energy storage solutions. Ammonia-based thermochemical energy storage systems have emerged as a promising option, utilizing solar energy to dissociate ammonia into hydrogen and nitrogen gas. This gaseous mixture is then employed for exothermic ammonia synthesis, releasing …
