Without energy storage, no energy transition. Without energy storage materials, no energy storage
Henk Huinink is an expert in vapor induced solid-solid phase transitions and their application in the field of thermal energy storage. With his team he is investigating hydration-dehydration transitions of crystals in order to utilize these reactions for manufacturing a heat battery. He is involved in two major EU H2020 consortia (CREATE and HEAT INSYDE) that aim for demonstrating long term compact heat storage. Furthermore, he leads the NWO funded Mat4Heat project in which a group of 5 PhD students study crystal hydrates and their application to heat storage.
