Abstract:
One of the possible solutions for the transition of the actual energetic model is the use of thermal energy storage technologies. Among them, thermochemical energy storage based on redox reactions involving metal oxides is very promising due to its high energy density. This paper deals with the development of the kinetic study based on data extracted from the thermogravimetric analysis of a cobalt-nickel mixed oxide (Co2.4Ni0.6O4) without and with the addition of SiO2 particles to improve the cyclability. The results show that in the reduction reaction the activation energy is not affected by the addition of SiO2 particles while in the oxidation reaction an increase in the activation energy is observed. The theoretical models fitting with the experimental data are different for each material in the reduction reaction. The mixed oxide is controlled by a nucleation and growth mechanism for conversion ratios higher than 0.5, while the added material is controlled by diffusion mechanisms. In the oxidation reaction, the two materials are controlled by a nucleation and growth mechanism for conversion ratios higher than 0.5.
