Abstract

Pr6Ti2S7O6 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are six inequivalent Pr3+ sites. In the first Pr3+ site, Pr3+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five S2- and four O2- atoms. There are three shorter (2.95 Å) and two longer (3.06 Å) Pr–S bond lengths. There are three shorter (2.49 Å) and one longer (2.74 Å) Pr–O bond lengths. In the second Pr3+ site, Pr3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to seven S2- and one O2- atom. There are a spread of Pr–S bond distances ranging from 2.85–3.02 Å. The Pr–O bond length is 2.66 Å. In the third Pr3+ site, Pr3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to five S2- and three O2- atoms. There are a spread of Pr–S bond distances ranging from 2.90–3.22 Å. There are one shorter (2.39 Å) and two longer (2.58 Å) Pr–O bond lengths. In the fourth Pr3+ site, Pr3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to seven S2- and one O2- atom. There are a spread of Pr–S bond distances ranging from 2.86–3.05 Å. The Pr–O bond length is 2.70 Å. In the fifth Pr3+ site, Pr3+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to two equivalent S2- and five O2- atoms. Both Pr–S bond lengths are 2.98 Å.

There are six inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two Pr3+ and two equivalent Ti4+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to three Pr3+ and one Ti4+ atom to form distorted OPr3Ti tetrahedra that share corners with three OPr3Ti tetrahedra and edges with two equivalent OPr4 tetrahedra. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two Pr3+ and two equivalent Ti4+ atoms.

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.
