Which condition arises when a thermochemical energy storage system undergoes excessive cycling?

💡 Explanation

When thermochemical energy storage undergoes excessive cycling, reactant material degradation from repeated phase transitions occurs reducing the surface area and active sites for the reaction, leading to a reduced conversion rate per cycle. Therefore decreased conversion rate results, rather than property changes, which are less directly linked to the cycling degradation effects.
