    摘要: In one aspect, the disclosure relates to an oxide-molten salt (OMS) composite material offering excellent energy storage capacity at low cost. The OMS composite material can be provided in at least three forms, including a porous, perovskite-oxide particle as a matrix having pores filled with unary salt or salt mixtures; an external shell of perovskite-oxide particles and an internal core of salt or a salt mixture; and/or a porous, perovskite-oxide particle as a matrix filled with unary salt or salt mixtures, wherein the whole particle is enclosed with an oxide outer shell. Further in this aspect, the outer shell can be dense but either mixed ionic-electronically conductive or porous. In another aspect, the disclosed methods and systems can be used for grid-scale energy storage by retrofitting existing steam turbine-based power plants and concentrated solar plants. In a further aspect, the disclosed methods, systems, and materials are environmentally benign.
