Abstract: This paper presents a comprehensive and state-of-the-art review on thermochemical energy storage (ES) technologies using thermochemical materials (TCMs) for building applications. Thermochemical storage devices (materials, open and closed sorption as well as chemical heat pump) enhance the energy efficiency of systems and sustainability of buildings by reducing the mismatch between supply and demand. Thermal ES (TES) systems using TCMs are particularly attractive and provide a high ES density at a constant temperature. Technical and economical questions will need to be answered for all possibilities, which warrant more development and large-scale demonstration of TES in future. Copyright , Oxford University Press.
