Rock and Sand: Cheaper materials that can store heat at higher temperatures, useful in industrial applications. 2. Latent Heat Storage. Latent heat storage utilizes phase change materials (PCMs) to store and release heat energy during the transition between phases, such as solid to liquid or liquid to gas.

It appears that the composite sorbent of EVMSrBr240 is a promising material for thermal energy storage, with water uptake of 0.53 g/g, mass energy

High energy density desired. Sensible heat storage happens to be the most popular type of TES in the power sector. It uses water, rocks, sand, molten salt or any other solid/liquid medium. In this system, thermal energy is stored by cooling a substance (liquid or solid) without any phase change.
