As a whole, the chemical type of energy storage contains employing an energy source for exciting chemical reactions and the energy source can be in the forms of heat (TCHS systems), electricity (electrochemical reactions in batteries), or electromagnetic (photosynthesis and photo-chemical reactions) , , , .
In addition, in terms of the LHS materials, their heat storage mechanism is based on not only temperature difference as the SHS but also the heat of fusion (a considerable latent heat value at the melting point without an egregious temperature difference), which is suitable for short-term or daily heat storage purposes .
As for long-term thermal energy storage, the heat must be stored either in chemical bonds or under the ground [255, 256]. In terms of the chemical bond based long-term heat storage, the TCMs store heat through the existing chemical bonds between their components.
As to an SHS material, the heat storage mechanism is solely based on material temperature variation; increasing and decreasing temperatures imply heat storage and heat release procedures, respectively for instant heat storage purposes .
