Abstract: A composite material was developed as sorbent for sorption thermal energy storage (TES) which was used to recycle the low-temperature heat in industry and life fields in this study. The composite sorbent was formed by strontium bromide (SrBr2) and the additive of expanded natural graphite treated with sulfuric acid (ENG-TSA). Sorption characteristics, kinetic sorption performance, thermal conductivity and permeability of 15 samples were studied. The material test results indicated the following: (1) the composite SrBr2 is of high energy density and good mass transfer performance; (2) it can be regenerated below 100 °C; (3) the additive of ENG-TSA greatly improves the heat transfer performance, while no degradation is observed on sorption water uptake; (4) the optimal composite sorbent is of 743 kg/m3 and with 10 wt% ENG-TSA.
