Thermal energy storage can be used as a source to extract heat, provide heating, generate electricity, or drive industrial processes. A thermal battery operates using materials with high capacity and conductivity, such as phase change materials (PCMs) or molten salts.
The working principle and applications of different types of thermal batteries (Thermocouple and AMTEC) are explained. The inorganic salt electrolytes are relatively non-conductive solids at ambient temperatures. Integral to the thermal battery are pyrotechnic materials scaled to supply sufficient thermal energy to melt the electrolyte.
Thermal batteries offer relatively high energy density versus volume. They can be stored for up to 20+ years without performance degradation; they perform without preparation in the most external environments; and they begin providing power almost immediately. Thermal battery technology is comprised of stacked series cells. Each cell consists

They are primarily used for military applications, such as missiles and ordnance, and in nuclear weapons.
The working principle and applications of the two main types of thermal batteries, Thermocouple and AMTEC, are explained. Thermocouple and AMTEC are the two main types of thermal batteries. The inorganic salt electrolytes are relatively non-conductive solids at ambient temperatures. Integral to the thermal battery are pyrotechnic materials scaled to supply sufficient thermal energy to melt the electrolyte.
In an effort to clean up industry, a growing number of companies are working to supply that heat with a technology called thermal batteries. It’s such an exciting idea that MIT Technology Review readers have officially selected thermal batteries as the reader’s choice addition to our 2024 list of 10 Breakthrough Technologies.
With this kind of thermal battery, electricity is used to heat an aluminium alloy is heated to around 600 °C with the heat then able to be discharged over a period of up to 16 hours. This is a beneficial way of storing and utilising excess renewable energy for use at times of greater demand or benefit.
Thermal batteries allow these applications to rely on electricity with confidence. As the electric grid starts to move away from renewable sources, thermal batteries can help cut reliance on non-renewable energy sources further. Usually, the use of electricity for large amounts of heat at high temperatures has been unreliable.
