Abstract

Sr3Pr3Mn2Cu2O13 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Amm2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Sr2+ sites. In the first Sr2+ site, Sr2+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of Sr–O bond distances ranging from 2.50–2.79 Å. In the second Sr2+ site, Sr2+ is bonded in a distorted q6 geometry to ten O2- atoms. There are a spread of Sr–O bond distances ranging from 2.68–2.81 Å. In the third Sr2+ site, Sr2+ is bonded in a distorted q6 geometry to ten O2- atoms. There are a spread of Sr–O bond distances ranging from 2.70–2.81 Å. There are three inequivalent Pr3+ sites. In the first Pr3+ site, Pr3+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of Pr–O bond distances ranging from 2.31–2.80 Å. In the second Pr3+ site, Pr3+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of Pr–O bond distances ranging from 2.40–2.79 Å. In the third Pr3+ site, Pr3+ is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of Pr–O bond distances ranging from 2.26–2.79 Å. There are two inequivalent Mn+4.50+ sites. In the first Mn+4.50+ site, Mn+4.50+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form MnO6 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one MnO6 octahedra and corners with four equivalent CuO5 square pyramids.

There are four shorter (1.92 Å) and one longer (2.27 Å) Cu–O bond lengths. In the second Cu1+ site, Cu1+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form CuO5 square pyramids that share corners with four equivalent MnO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 4°. There are four shorter (1.92 Å) and one longer (2.25 Å) Cu–O bond lengths. There are seven inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four Sr2+ and two Mn+4.50+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to one Sr2+, four Pr3+, and one Mn+4.50+ atom to form distorted OSrPr4Mn octahedra that share corners with eight OSr3PrMnCu octahedra and edges with two equivalent OSr2Pr3Mn octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 12–47°. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to five Pr3+ and one Cu1+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Sr2+, three Pr3+, and one Cu1+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded to two equivalent Sr2+, three Pr3+, and one Mn+4.50+ atom to form distorted OSr2Pr3Mn octahedra that share corners with twelve OSr3PrMnCu octahedra, edges with two equivalent OSrPr4Mn octahedra, and faces with four equivalent OSr3PrMnCu octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 16–53°. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two Sr2+, two Pr3+, one Mn+4.50+, and one Cu1+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded to three Sr2+, one Pr3+, one Mn+4.50+, and one Cu1+ atom to form distorted OSr3PrMnCu octahedra that share corners with five OSrPr4Mn octahedra, edges with two equivalent OSr3PrMnCu octahedra, and faces with five OSr3PrMnCu octahedra.

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.
