储热技术通过解决热能供需在时间、空间及强度上的不匹配问题,已成为提高能源系统灵活性和可再生能源消纳能力的关键。基于对近三万篇文献的系统性综述与科学知识图谱分析,梳理了储热领域的研究进展、应用脉络与发展趋势。研究发现,储热技术领域研究规模持续快速增长,已形成“材料—系统—应用”多层递进的知识体系,呈现出以中国、美国和欧洲为主导的差异化布局。研究前沿围绕高性能、智能化和系统融合展开,重点聚焦以热化学储热、钙循环为代表的长时储能技术,以MXene基复合材料、磁场调控为代表的智能响应材料,以综合能源系统、卡诺电池为核心的多能耦合集成,以及机器学习赋能的储热全链条优化。为推动储热技术规模化应用,亟需在材料、系统与市场层面协同创新,突破关键技术瓶颈,以支撑未来能源系统的安全高效运行。
Thermal energy storage (TES) has emerged as a critical technology for enhancing the flexibility of energy systems and the integration capacity of renewable energy sources by addressing mismatches in the temporal
spatial
and intensity dimensions of energy supply and demand. This study conducted a comprehensive review and analysis of nearly 30000 scholarly publications using systematic review and scientometric knowledge mapping methodologies to delineate the research progress
application landscape
and development trends in the TES field. The investigation reveals that research activity in TES has experienced sustained and rapid growth
evolving into a multi-layered knowledge architecture structured around "Materials-Systems-Applications." A distinct global research landscape has materialized
characterized by a tripartite leadership comprising China
the United States
and Europe
each exhibiting unique strategic focuses and developmental trajectories. The current research frontier is primarily concentrated on the pursuit of high performance
system intelligence
and deep integration. Key areas of intense focus include: (1) long-duration energy storage technologies
notably thermochemical heat storage and calcium looping (CaL) cycles; (2) intelligent responsive materials
such as MXene-based composite materials and those whose properties can be modulated by magnetic fields; (3) multi-energy coupled integration
with core applications in integrated energy systems (IES) and Carnot batteries; and (4) machine learning (ML)-enabled optimization across the entire TES chain
from material discovery to system design and operational control. To propel the large-scale application of TES technologies
concerted innovation across material
system
and market dimensions is urgently required. Future efforts must prioritize overcoming key technical bottlenecks
such as enhancing material cyclability and energy density for long-term storage
improving the efficiency and intelligence of system integration
and developing robust market mechanisms and policy frameworks. This study provides a systematic
data-driven overview that can serve as a foundational reference for researchers
policymakers
and industry stakeholders navigating the evolving landscape of thermal energy storage.
