Description
Materials that convert and store energy are essential for advancing new energy technologies and driving economic growth. Funded by the European Innovation Council, the Heat2Battery project represents a significant breakthrough by integrating heat harvesting and storage into a single device. Unlike traditional thermoelectric generators, which rely on a constant temperature gradient, this innovative battery uses waste heat at high temperatures to charge at room temperature to generate electricity. Previous thermal batteries depended on liquid electrolytes, which restricted their operational temperature range and material stability. In contrast, the Heat2Battery initiative focuses on developing all-solid-state thermal batteries, where every component, including the electrolyte, is made from solid materials. This offers a next-generation solution for energy sustainability, with the potential to transform energy harvesting and storage.
