Abstract

SrLaI5 crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Sr2+ sites. In the first Sr2+ site, Sr2+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine I1- atoms. There are a spread of Sr–I bond distances ranging from 3.41–4.03 Å. In the second Sr2+ site, Sr2+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to eight I1- atoms. There are a spread of Sr–I bond distances ranging from 3.42–3.97 Å. There are two inequivalent La3+ sites. In the first La3+ site, La3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight I1- atoms. There are a spread of La–I bond distances ranging from 3.25–3.41 Å. In the second La3+ site, La3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight I1- atoms. There are a spread of La–I bond distances ranging from 3.25–3.40 Å. There are ten inequivalent I1- sites. In the first I1- site, I1- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Sr2+ and two La3+ atoms. In the second I1- site, I1- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Sr2+ and one La3+ atom. In the third I1- site, I1- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Sr2+ and two equivalent La3+ atoms. In the fourth I1- site, I1- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Sr2+ and one La3+ atom. In the fifth I1- site, I1- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Sr2+ and two La3+ atoms. In the sixth I1- site, I1- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Sr2+ and two La3+ atoms. In the seventh I1- site, I1- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Sr2+ and one La3+ atom. In the eighth I1- site, I1- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent La3+ atoms. In the ninth I1- site, I1- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Sr2+ and one La3+ atom. In the tenth I1- site, I1- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Sr2+ and two La3+ 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.
