Experimental Study of Hydration/Dehydration Behaviors of Metal Sulfates M2(SO4)3 (M = Sc, Yb, Y, Dy, Al, Ga, Fe, In) in Search of New Low-Temperature Thermochemical Heat Storage Materials.

ABSTRACT: To identify potential low-temperature thermochemical heat storage (TCHS) materials, hydration/dehydration reactions of M2(SO4)3 (M = Sc, Yb, Y, Dy, Al, Ga, Fe, In) are investigated by thermogravimetry (TG). These materials have the same rhombohedral crystal structure, and one of them, rhombohedral Y2(SO4)3, has been recently proposed as a promising material. All M2(SO4)3·xH2O hydrate/dehydrate reversibly between 30 and 200 °C at a relatively low p H2O (=0.02 atm). Among them, rare-earth (RE) sulfates RE2(SO4)3·xH2O (RE = Sc, Yb, Y, Dy) show narrower thermal hystereses (less than 50 °C), indicatin
