Thermochemical Heat Storage for High Temperature Applications – A Review

• M. Felderhoff

  Dr. Michael Felderhoff studied at the University of Essen, where he completed his Ph.D in 1993 in organic chemistry. After spending two additional years in Essen, he did postdoctoral studies at the Universities of Tübingen and Osnabrück working in the fields of radical chemistry and electrochromic materials. Since 1999 he is a member of the hydrogen storage group at the MPI für Kohlenforschung, responsible for the development of new metal hydrides for hydrogen and heat storage applications.

  , R. Urbanczyk

  Robert Urbanczyk studied Mechanical engineering at the Universität GH Essen in Germany with the specialisation Energy science and graduated in February 2000. Afterwards he worked until 2007 at the meanwhile founded Universität Duisburg–Essen in research and academia field and supervised projects concerned with fuel cells and synthesis gas production and utilisation for fuel cells. Since April 2007 he works at the Institut für Energe- und Umwelttechnik e.V. (IUTA) in Duisburg Germany, where he develops hydrogen and heat storage systems based on metal hydrides.

  and S. Peil

  Dr. Stefan Peil was born in 1958. After the study of chemistry at the Philipps-Universität Marburg and his doctoral thesis in physical chemistry there, he worked as a post-doc at the Alfred-Wegener-Institut für Polar- und Meeresforschung in Bremerhaven in the area of atmospheric chemistry. Since January 2000 he works at the Institut für Energie- und Umwelttechnik e.V. (IUTA) in Duisburg. His research areas are energy conversion and energy storage.
