With the aforementioned characteristics of sorption materials, it is possible to consider long-term solar energy storage, in particular seasonal storage, based on sorption, a process that gained recently a renewal of interest in research platforms.

Charging phase: the heat provided by the solar field, at the maximum temperature level in the system, feeds the sorption storage system and the high-temperature (HT) user into the industrial process. In the sorption storage system, the adsorbent material is heated and desorbed until it reaches the maximum temperature.
The sorption storage system is preferably used in this way because, by actively cooling processes during discharge, the heat of evaporation is a “useful heat” too. This leads to a heat storage efficiency > 1, which means that the storage system is actively saving additional energy.
Sorption thermal energy storage (STES) involves a reversible physio-chemical phenomena (physical and chemical sorption) to store the thermal energy chemically and recovers the energy upon supplying law-temperature activation energy .
In the present study, one of the most promising innovative heat storage technologies, the sorption-based TES, for application in different fields, is introduced and deeply investigated by means of a thermodynamic model based on the experimental thermo-physical parameters measured for different adsorbent materials.
Sorption-based TES systems, which utilize reversible sorbent–sorbate reactions to store and release thermal energy, offer long-term storage capabilities with minimal losses.
