Thermochemical energy storage (TCES) is promising for efficient thermal energy management
particularly in concentrated solar power and industrial waste heat recovery. Among various candidate materials
the cobalt oxide system (Co

O

/CoO) has attracted considerable attention owing to its high energy density and good reversibility during redox cycles. However
practical application is often limited by its relatively high operating temperature and the temperature hysteresis between the reduction
(heat storage) and oxidation (heat release) steps. This hysteresis adversely affects the efficiency and controllability of the system. To address these challenges
this study introduces a novel and economical modification strategy in which low-cost
metal-based additives
specifically copper oxide (CuO) and sodium carbonate (Na

CO

)
are introduced. The objective is to tailor the thermodynamic and kinetic properties of the base material. Composites were synthesized using a straightforward solid-state grinding and mixing technique
ensuring simplicity and scalability. The thermochemical performance of the composites was thoroughly assessed via thermogravimetric analysis
focusing on key parameters
including the onset and peak temperatures for reduction and oxidation
degree of conversion
and magnitude of temperature hysteresis. The results demonstrate a synergistic effect of CuO and Na

co-doping. This combination effectively shifts the reduction reaction to a lower temperature range and dramatically narrows the hysteresis. For the optimally doped formulation (8/3Co

the onset temperature was substantially reduced from 883℃ (for pristine Co

) to 818℃. Remarkably
the temperature separation between reduction and oxidation stabilized below 5℃. Moreover
the material exhibited outstanding cycling stability
retaining 92% of its initial conversion after 50 consecutive redox cycles
which underscores its robust reversibility and durability. To gain deeper insight into the role of the dopants
the reduction kinetics were analyzed
confirming that the reaction mechanism remains consistent with the Avrami-Erofeyev model (A2)
governed by random nucleation and subsequent growth. This indicates that the primary role of the CuO-Na

additives is to modify the reaction environment-potentially by enhancing ionic diffusion

or altering th

reduction. In summary
a doped cobalt oxide composite with significantly improved properties was successfully developed
affording a lower and wider operational temperature range
minimal hysteresis
and excellent cyclic stability. The findings offer a practical and theoretically grounded material design strategy
paving the way for engineering advanced
cost-effective cobalt-based TCES materials that can be efficiently integrated into graded or cascaded thermal storage systems
thereby enhancing the overall energy utilization.
