The thirdtechnology to store thermal energy is through the heat released during reversible chemical reaction and/or sorption processes of gases or vapor in solids and liquids . The systems that use this technology are called thermochemical energy storage (TCS) systems.
Thermochemical energy storage is quite a new method and is under research and development phase at various levels (Prieto, Cooper, Fernández, & Cabeza, 2016 ). In this technique, the energy is stored and released in the form of a chemical reaction and is generally classified under the heat storage process.

Thermochemical heat storage works on the notion that all chemical reactions either absorb or release heat; hence, a reversible process that absorbs heat while running in one way would release heat when running in the other direction. Thermochemical energy storage stores energy by using a high-energy chemical process.
TCS systems store energy in endothermic chemical reactions, and the energy can be retrieved at any time by facilitating the reverse, exothermic reaction. The storage output temperature is dependent on the properties of the thermochemical that was used as the storage medium .
