Abstract：In the past decades, metal hydrides have attracted extensive attention as high-energy-density thermal storage materials. This paper introduces the thermochemical properties of metal hydrides and the working principle of the metal hydride-based thermal storage systems. Based on recent research progresses and developments, the working temperature, pressure and heat storage density of metal hydride as heat storage materials at high, medium and low temperature were analyzed and discussed. The application and development trend of refrigeration and heat pump for metal hydride thermal energy storage were also discussed.
