Abstract
Disclosed are thermal energy storage systems and methods that utilize metal carbonate eutectics that can undergo high temperature reversible reactions to form mixtures of metal oxides. The metal oxides undergo an exothermic reaction with carbon dioxide to form the molten metal carbonate eutectics, and the molten metal carbonate eutectics undergo an endothermic decarbonization reaction to form the metal oxides and carbon dioxide. By carrying out the reversible reactions at a temperature above the melting point of the carbonate eutectic, the systems provide high thermal conductivity and reversible stability for thermal energy storage.
