Abstract
Efficient energy storage is crucial for maximizing renewable energy use. Matuszek et al. reported in Nature a eutectic mixture storing 395 kJ/kg of sensible, latent, and thermochemical energy. This stable, cost-effective, and solvent-free material supports scalable storage, while photochemical control can reduce spontaneous heat loss in thermal storage systems.
