Abstract

Ca2YTiO5 crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Ca2+ sites. In the first Ca2+ site, Ca2+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ca–O bond distances ranging from 2.31–2.71 Å. In the second Ca2+ site, Ca2+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ca–O bond distances ranging from 2.31–2.71 Å. In the third Ca2+ site, Ca2+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ca–O bond distances ranging from 2.31–2.71 Å. In the fourth Ca2+ site, Ca2+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ca–O bond distances ranging from 2.31–2.72 Å. There are two inequivalent Y3+ sites. In the first Y3+ site, Y3+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form YO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two TiO6 octahedra and corners with two equivalent YO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 38–39°. There are a spread of Y–O bond distances ranging from 2.14–2.22 Å. In the second Y3+ site, Y3+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form YO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two TiO6 octahedra and corners with two equivalent YO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 39°. There are a spread of Y–O bond distances ranging from 2.13–2.22 Å. There are two inequivalent Ti3+ sites. In the first Ti3+ site, Ti3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form TiO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent TiO6 octahedra and corners with two YO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 15–16°. There are a spread of Ti–O bond distances ranging from 1.99–2.13 Å. In the second Ti3+ site, Ti3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form TiO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent TiO6 octahedra and corners with two YO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 15–16°. There are a spread of Ti–O bond distances ranging from 1.99–2.13 Å. There are ten inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded to two Ca2+ and two Y3+ atoms to form corner-sharing OCa2Y2 tetrahedra. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to two Ca2+ and two Y3+ atoms to form corner-sharing OCa2Y2 tetrahedra. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded to two Ca2+, one Y3+, and one Ti3+ atom to form distorted corner-sharing OCa2YTi tetrahedra. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded to two Ca2+, one Y3+, and one Ti3+ atom to form distorted corner-sharing OCa2YTi tetrahedra. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded to two Ca2+, one Y3+, and one Ti3+ atom to form distorted corner-sharing OCa2YTi tetrahedra. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded to two Ca2+, one Y3+, and one Ti3+ atom to form distorted corner-sharing OCa2YTi tetrahedra. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four Ca2+ and two Ti3+ atoms. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four Ca2+ and two Ti3+ atoms. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four Ca2+ and two Ti3+ atoms. In the tenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four Ca2+ and two Ti3+ 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.
