Materials Data on Sr4Li(RuO4)3 by Materials Project

Abstract

LiSr4(RuO4)3 is Orthorhombic Perovskite-derived structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with six RuO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 11–17°. There are four shorter (2.04 Å) and two longer (2.12 Å) Li–O bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Sr2+ sites. In the first Sr2+ site, Sr2+ is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to ten O2- atoms. There are a spread of Sr–O bond distances ranging from 2.51–2.95 Å. In the second Sr2+ site, Sr2+ is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to eleven O2- atoms. There are a spread of Sr–O bond distances ranging from 2.49–3.13 Å. There are three inequivalent Ru5+ sites. In the first Ru5+ site, Ru5+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form corner-sharing RuO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 19–21°. There are a spread of Ru–O bond distances ranging from 1.99–2.03 Å. In the second Ru5+ site, Ru5+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form RuO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent LiO6 octahedra and corners with four equivalent RuO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 17–21°. There are a spread of Ru–O bond distances ranging from 1.91–2.02 Å. In the third Ru5+ site, Ru5+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form RuO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent RuO6 octahedra and corners with four equivalent LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 11–20°. There is four shorter (1.93 Å) and two longer (2.03 Å) Ru–O bond length. There are six inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, four Sr2+, and one Ru5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three Sr2+ and two Ru5+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three Sr2+ and two Ru5+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, four Sr2+, and one Ru5+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, three Sr2+, and one Ru5+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four Sr2+ and two Ru5+ 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.
