← ScienceWhich mechanism limits the efficiency of a thermochemical energy storage system that utilizes reversible reactions?
A)Equilibrium limitations near operating temperature
B)Thermal losses due to insufficient insulation
C)Kinetic barriers hindering reaction rates✓
D)Material degradation exceeding storage capacity
💡 Explanation
When storing heat via reversible reactions, incomplete conversion due to energy barriers prevents full storage capacity utilization because forward and reverse activation energies influence reaction rates. Therefore Kinetic bariers limit the practical efficiency, rather than equilibrium limited yield or material breakdown, which operate by distinct process constraints.
