Researchers collaborating between ICV-CSIC in Spain and at the Odeillo solar furnace in France have devised a novel way to maximize thermal energy storage in Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) plants. They wanted to encapsulate the maximum amount of the molten salts used in CSP storage within a custom 3D-printed ceramic lattice. Their idea is to … Continue reading 3D-printed ceramics tested to maximize thermal energy storage in molten salts
