Abstract

Fe2Zn2O5 crystallizes in the monoclinic Pm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Fe3+ sites. In the first Fe3+ site, Fe3+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form FeO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three FeO4 tetrahedra and corners with six ZnO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 1.82–1.98 Å. In the second Fe3+ site, Fe3+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form FeO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three FeO4 tetrahedra and corners with six ZnO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 1.83–1.98 Å. In the third Fe3+ site, Fe3+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form FeO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three FeO4 tetrahedra and corners with six ZnO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 1.83–1.98 Å. In the fourth Fe3+ site, Fe3+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form FeO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three FeO4 tetrahedra and corners with six ZnO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 1.83–1.98 Å. There are four inequivalent Zn2+ sites. In the first Zn2+ site, Zn2+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form ZnO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent ZnO4 tetrahedra, corners with six FeO4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one ZnO4 tetrahedra.

In the fourth Zn2+ site, Zn2+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form ZnO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent ZnO4 tetrahedra, corners with six FeO4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one ZnO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Zn–O bond distances ranging from 1.92–2.11 Å. There are ten inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a linear geometry to two Fe3+ atoms.

In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Fe3+ and two equivalent Zn2+ atoms. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded to two equivalent Fe3+ and two Zn2+ atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OZn2Fe2 tetrahedra. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded to two equivalent Fe3+ and two Zn2+ atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OZn2Fe2 tetrahedra. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Fe3+ and two equivalent Zn2+ atoms. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded to two equivalent Fe3+ and two Zn2+ atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OZn2Fe2 tetrahedra. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a linear geometry to two Fe3+ 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.
