In the first Ba2+ site, Ba2+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ba–O bond distances ranging from 2.81–2.95 Å. In the second Ba2+ site, Ba2+ is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to ten O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ba–O bond distances ranging from 2.77–3.27 Å. In the third Ba2+ site, Ba2+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ba–O bond distances ranging from 2.75–3.16 Å. In the fourth Ba2+ site, Ba2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form BaO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent BaO6 octahedra and corners with four equivalent ZnO5 trigonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. There are four shorter (2.63 Å) and two longer (2.89 Å) Ba–O bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Dy3+ sites. In the first Dy3+ site, Dy3+ is bonded to seven O2- atoms to form distorted DyO7 pentagonal bipyramids that share corners with two equivalent ZnO5 trigonal bipyramids, edges with five DyO7 pentagonal bipyramids, an edgeedge with one ZnO5 trigonal bipyramid, and a faceface with one PtO6 octahedra.

The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–57°. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to four Ba2+, one Dy3+, and one Pt4+ atom to form distorted OBa4DyPt octahedra that share corners with nine OBa4DyPt octahedra, edges with five OBa6 octahedra, and faces with two equivalent OBa3DyZnPt octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 1–61°. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded to three Ba2+, one Dy3+, one Pt4+, and one Zn2+ atom to form a mixture of distorted face and corner-sharing OBa3DyZnPt octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 46–61°. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded to six Ba2+ atoms to form OBa6 octahedra that share corners with ten OBa6 octahedra and edges with twelve OBa4DyPt octahedra.

Cyclic moisture reactivation of calcium sorbents for long duration thermochemical energy storage

The transition to a flexible and reliable energy infrastructure, using electro-thermal energy generation technologies such as geothermal, concentrated solar power, and nuclear, usually demands simultaneous advancement of thermal energy storage (TES) to support on-demand electricity generation and industrial applications while mitigating the inherent intermittency of renewable energy sources and power outages from direct energy generation. Among TES technologies, thermochemical energy storage (TCES) based on calcium looping emerges as a compelling high-power energy storage candidate due to its high reaction enthalpy, compatibility with elevated operating temperatures, and abundance of low-cost materials. However, the long-term durability of calcium-based sorbents for TCES is hindered by surface sintering and particle aggregation, leading to performance degradation over repeated thermal cycles. This study explores a moisture hydration-based strategy to regenerate a degraded calcium sorbent and mitigate performance degradation for long duration TCES. The addition of moisture transforms calcium oxide into calcium hydroxide and produces intercalation water layers, associated with a regenerated surface area and reduced calcium oxide crystallite size. Both these effects are beneficial in restoring the sorbents' reactivity for carbonization. Additionally, an optimized hydration-assisted reactivation protocol balances the recovered energy storage capacity with heating penalty required for moisture removal from hydrated samples, resulting in an enhanced energy storage capacity up to 176% compared to benchmark sorbents that undergo cycling without reactivation after 60 cycles. In conclusion, these results highlight the potential of hydration-assisted reactivation to enhance the long-term performance of TCES, providing an effective pathway to advancing electro-thermal storage technologies.
