Widening the use of renewable sources requires more efficient energy storage systems to overcome inherent intermittence solar energy. In this respect, thermal coupled concentrated power represents an inexpensive technology achieve that goal. particular, reversible thermochemical reactions is promising due a higher density if compared with commercial sensible heat on molten salts. However, some ...

Electrochemical synthesis followed by heat-treatment is a facile and easy method for preparation of nanostructured metal oxides. Herein we report nanostructured Mn5O8 prepared through pulse cathodic deposition followed by heat-treatment for the first time. For the preparation of Mn5O8 nanorods, pulse cathodic electrodeposition was first done from 0.005M Mn(NO3)2 at the current density of 5 mA c...
