Fe Fuel Particle Design for Renewable Energy Storage
The global transition to renewable energy is one of the most critical challenges of our time. Iron powder has been proposed as a new sustainable energy carrier to replace fossil fuels in energy management. During its oxidation, heat is released and can be stored by reducing the resulting iron oxide using renewable energy. However, significant challenges remain for Fe fuel, such as transport and storage safety, ignition efficiency, micro-explosions, particle inflation, nanoparticle emissions, and particle agglomeration. To date, these issues have only been addressed by adjusting extrinsic combustion parameters like pressure, temperature, and gas composition, an approach that falls short of…
