Abstract

Pr(NiO3)2 crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Pr4+ sites. In the first Pr4+ site, Pr4+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of Pr–O bond distances ranging from 2.41–2.74 Å. In the second Pr4+ site, Pr4+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of Pr–O bond distances ranging from 2.40–2.76 Å. There are four inequivalent Ni4+ sites. In the first Ni4+ site, Ni4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form corner-sharing NiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 12–22°. There are a spread of Ni–O bond distances ranging from 1.83–1.87 Å. In the second Ni4+ site, Ni4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form corner-sharing NiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 14–22°. There are a spread of Ni–O bond distances ranging from 1.97–2.04 Å. In the third Ni4+ site, Ni4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form corner-sharing NiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 13–21°. There are a spread of Ni–O bond distances ranging from 1.83–1.87 Å. In the fourth Ni4+ site, Ni4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form corner-sharing NiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 12–21°. There are a spread of Ni–O bond distances ranging from 1.96–2.04 Å. There are twelve inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one Pr4+ and two Ni4+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Pr4+ and two Ni4+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one Pr4+ and two Ni4+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two Pr4+ and two Ni4+ atoms. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two Pr4+ and two Ni4+ atoms. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pr4+ and two Ni4+ atoms. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one Pr4+ and two Ni4+ atoms. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one Pr4+ and two Ni4+ atoms. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one Pr4+ and two Ni4+ atoms. In the tenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two Pr4+ and two Ni4+ atoms. In the eleventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two Pr4+ and two Ni4+ atoms. In the twelfth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pr4+ and two Ni4+ 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.
