The export potential for Finland in electrolyzer technology is significant and estimated to be 3 B€ annually in 2030. Read more about FinH 2. New electrocatalysts enabling storing of electrical energy into chemical compounds, e.g. hydrogen, and regeneration of electricity are designed, synthesized and investigated in a rational manner.
In the energy storage team, we work with a large variety of different energy storage technologies to support the transition to renewable energy production. The AIcon approach. Figure credit: Prajwal Pisal.
Electrochemical energy storage can be one solution to the increasing of the need for electrochemical energy conversion and storage devices .Thus, the Electrochemical Energy Conversion research group investigates and develops materials and devices for these applications.
(i) Thermochemical storage material research focuses on development and modifications of high energy density sorption salts. Substantial amount of heat can be released when water vapor adsorbs into these salts. With this method thermal energy can be stored in principle forever.
Thermal storage materials research consists of three different material groups, each with different storage methodology. (i) Thermochemical storage material research focuses on development and modifications of high energy density sorption salts. Substantial amount of heat can be released when water vapor adsorbs into these salts.
