[PDF Version]It is a relatively new technology that has gained popularity due to its ability to store renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power. The concept of a heat battery is simple: it stores heat during times when excess energy is produced and releases it when there is a shortage of energy.
A thermal energy battery is a physical structure used for the purpose of storing and releasing thermal energy. Such a thermal battery (a.k.a. TBat) allows energy available at one time to be temporarily stored and then released at another time.
However, instead of using chemicals to store energy, a heat battery uses a phase change material (PCM) such as sodium acetate or paraffin wax. The PCM is contained within a storage unit that is insulated to reduce heat loss. When excess energy is produced, it is used to heat the PCM, causing it to change from a solid to a liquid state.
The different kinds of thermal energy storage can be divided into three separate categories: sensible heat, latent heat, and thermo-chemical heat storage. Each of these has different advantages and disadvantages that determine their applications. Sensible heat storage (SHS) is the most straightforward method.
Thermal energy storage (TES) is the storage of thermal energy for later reuse. Employing widely different technologies, it allows surplus thermal energy to be stored for hours, days, or months. Scale both of storage and use vary from small to large – from individual processes to district, town, or region.
Other sources of thermal energy for storage include heat or cold produced with heat pumps from off-peak, lower cost electric power, a practice called peak shaving; heat from combined heat and power (CHP) power plants; heat produced by renewable electrical energy that exceeds grid demand and waste heat from industrial processes.

State Owned Enterprise (SOE) Essentially, SOEs are created to undertake commercial activities on behalf of the government. The government may assume full or partial ownership of a state owned enterprise, which is usually allowed to take part in specific activities.
State enterprises can be found in various sectors, including energy, telecommunications, transportation, and manufacturing. The primary goals of state enterprises typically include providing essential services, generating revenue for the government, and supporting economic development.
A state-owned enterprise is a commercial enterprise owned by a government entity in a capitalist market or mixed economy. Reasons for state ownership of commercial enterprises are that the enterprise in question is a natural monopoly or because the government is promoting economic development and industrialization.
State enterprises and private enterprises differ primarily in their objectives and accountability: Objectives: While private enterprises aim to maximize profits for their shareholders, state enterprises prioritize delivering public value, such as providing essential services or supporting economic development.
An illustrative example of a state enterprise is the China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), which is owned by the Chinese government. CNPC operates in the oil and gas sector, engaging in activities such as exploration, production, and refining.
Strategic Control: By owning and controlling these enterprises, governments can direct economic activities in strategic sectors, such as energy or national security, to align with national interests and policies. How do state enterprises differ from private enterprises in terms of objectives and operations?
A state-owned enterprise might variously operate as a not-for-profit corporation, as it may not be required to generate a profit; as a commercial enterprise in competitive sectors; or as a natural monopoly. Governments may also use the profitable entities they own to support the general budget.

This review introduces dual-ion batteries (DIBs) as an emerging technology to address these issues, garnering attention for their high operational voltages, excellent safety, and environmental frie.
In 2012, Placke et al. first introduced the definition “dual-ion batteries” for the type of batteries and the name is used till today. To note, earlier DIBs typically applied graphite as both electrodes, liquid organic solvents and lithium salts as electrolytes.
Safety is an important parameter for practical applications of batteries, especially for the dual-ion batteries with organic carbonate based electrolytes, as most of them feature a high operating voltage and suffer from the potential safety hazards.
Electrochemical measurements of soft-packed Cu–Al dual-ion battery were carried out using a two-electrode system with CuS electrode as the work electrode, copper foil as the counter electrode and the LiCuAl as the electrolyte (0–1.2 V and 1–100 mV/s for CV tests, 0–1 V for GCD tests).
Provided by the Springer Nature SharedIt content-sharing initiative Graphite dual-ion batteries represent a potential battery concept for large-scale stationary storage of electricity, especially when constructed free of lithium and other chemical elements with limited natural reserves.

The Al-storage mechanism of CuS is proposed that the S–S bond in CuS lattice interacts with aluminum ions during the aluminum storage process. In addition, the charging and discharging process does not cause irreversible damage to the S–S bond, thus Cu–Al dual-ion battery with CuS as cathode shows great cycle stability.
