Abstract
Recent contributions to thermochemical heat storage (TCHS) technology have been reviewed and have revealed that there are four main branches whose mastery could significantly contribute to the field. These are the control of the processes to store or release heat, a perfect understanding and designing of the materials used for each storage process, the good sizing of the reactor, and the mastery of the whole system connected to design an efficient system. The above-mentioned fields constitute a very complex area of investigation, and most of the works focus on one of the branches to deepen their research. For this purpose, significant contributions have been and continue to be made. However, the technology is still not mature, and, up to now, no definitive, efficient, autonomous, practical, and commercial TCHS device is available. This paper highlights several issues that impede the maturity of the technology. These are the limited number of research works dedicated to the topic, the simulation results that are too illusory and impossible to implement in real prototypes, the incomplete analysis of the proposed works (simulation works without experimentation or experimentations without prior simulation study), and the endless problem of heat and mass transfer limitation. This paper provides insights and recommendations to better analyze and solve the problems that still challenge the technology.

Abstract
![]()
For
absorption refrigeration, it has been shown that ionic liquids
have the potential to replace conventional working pairs. Due to the
huge number of possibilities, conducting lab experiments to find the
optimal ionic liquid is infeasible. Here, we provide a proof-of-principle
study of an alternative computational approach. The required thermodynamic
properties, i.e., solubility, heat capacity, and heat of absorption,
are determined via molecular simulations. These properties are used
in a model of the absorption refrigeration cycle to estimate the circulation
ratio and the coefficient of performance. We selected two ionic liquids
as absorbents: [emim][Tf2N], and [emim][SCN]. As refrigerant
NH3 was chosen due to its favorable operating range. The
results are compared to the traditional approach in which parameters
of a thermodynamic model are fitted to reproduce experimental data.
The work shows that simulations can be used to predict the required
thermodynamic properties to estimate the performance of absorption
refrigeration cycles. However, high-quality force fields are required
to accurately predict the cycle performance.
