Storing energy as heat is a proven way to address the challenge solar power faces when it’s dark or cloudy by capturing, storing, and releasing thermal energy on demand. Researchers at Penn State found that steel slags—a rock-like waste byproduct of steelmaking—may serve as a low-cost heat-storage candidate for thermal energy storage applications.
