Fuel cell catalyst with ultralow Pt loading
Thermal Energy Storage System (TESS)
A research team led by Argonne materials scientist has developed a fast, high-efficiency thermal energy storage system (TESS) that rapidly stores heat and releases it on demand. The TESS technology was developed for concentrating solar power plants, but has wide-ranging commercial applications, including waste heat recovery and use, building cooling/heating, and load leveling for power plants. The system, which is tunable to operate over range of temperatures and has a unique modular design, can greatly increase the energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness of many industrial processes.
