Low hydration exothermic well cement system: The application of energy storage microspheres prepared by high-strength hollow microspheres carrying
In addition, cement slurry, with 10% ESM, was used to prepare the cement blocks. These cement blocks were cut open to observe the distribution of microspheres in the cement, as shown in Fig. 18 . The microspheres were dispersed evenly in the cement, with no coalescence between the microspheres in the cement matrix.
Energy Vault. Storing renewable energy using concrete blocks

Better Than Batteries? A Startup That''s Storing Energy in Concrete Blocks Just Raised $100 Million
A startup called Energy Vault is working on a unique storage method, and they must be on the right track, because they just received over $100 million in Series C funding last week. The method was inspired by pumped hydro, which has been around since the 1920s and uses surplus generating capacity to pump water up into a reservoir.
