Cover Story: A novel solid solution, NaxBa1-xCoO3-δ, demonstrates excellent thermal energy storage capacity, with a heat storage density of up to 341.7 kJ/kg in air. Experimental results combined with DFT calculations elucidate the enhancement mechanism, where Na on the material surface generates more oxygen vacancies, thereby boosting the material's redox activity. The material demonstrates outstanding cyclic stability over 450 cycles, proving its potential for practical applications. View this paper
