Materials Data on Sr6Fe2Ru2O11 by Materials Project

Abstract

Sr6Ru2Fe2O11 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Sr2+ sites. In the first Sr2+ site, Sr2+ is bonded in a distorted q6 geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of Sr–O bond distances ranging from 2.65–2.86 Å. In the second Sr2+ site, Sr2+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Sr–O bond distances ranging from 2.52–2.87 Å. In the third Sr2+ site, Sr2+ is bonded to seven O2- atoms to form distorted SrO7 pentagonal bipyramids that share corners with four equivalent SrO7 pentagonal bipyramids, a cornercorner with one FeO5 square pyramid, edges with two equivalent SrO7 pentagonal bipyramids, and faces with two equivalent SrO7 pentagonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Sr–O bond distances ranging from 2.46–2.80 Å. Ru2+ is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ru–O bond distances ranging from 1.97–2.03 Å. Fe3+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form FeO5 square pyramids that share a cornercorner with one SrO7 pentagonal bipyramid and corners with three equivalent FeO5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 1.91–2.10 Å. There are eight inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded to four Sr2+ and two equivalent Ru2+ atoms to form distorted OSr4Ru2 octahedra that share corners with twelve OSr4Ru2 octahedra, edges with three OSr4Ru2 octahedra, and faces with two equivalent OSr5Ru octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 4–58°. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to four Sr2+ and two equivalent Ru2+ atoms to form distorted OSr4Ru2 octahedra that share corners with twelve OSr4Ru2 octahedra, edges with three OSr4Ru2 octahedra, and faces with two equivalent OSr5Ru octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 4–59°. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded to four Sr2+ and two equivalent Fe3+ atoms to form distorted OSr4Fe2 octahedra that share corners with ten OSr4Ru2 octahedra, edges with three OSr4Ru2 octahedra, and faces with four OSr5Fe octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 5–60°. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded to four Sr2+ and two equivalent Fe3+ atoms to form distorted OSr4Fe2 octahedra that share corners with ten OSr4Ru2 octahedra, edges with three OSr4Ru2 octahedra, and faces with four OSr5Fe octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 5–60°. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded to five Sr2+ and one Ru2+ atom to form distorted OSr5Ru octahedra that share corners with eleven OSr4Ru2 octahedra, edges with eight OSr5Ru octahedra, and faces with two OSr4Ru2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 7–59°. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded to five Sr2+ and one Fe3+ atom to form distorted OSr5Fe octahedra that share corners with twelve OSr4Ru2 octahedra, edges with eight OSr5Ru octahedra, and faces with three OSr4Fe2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 12–60°. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Sr2+, one Ru2+, and one Fe3+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded to four Sr2+ and two equivalent Fe3+ atoms to form distorted OSr4Fe2 octahedra that share corners with ten OSr4Ru2 octahedra and faces with six OSr5Fe octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 46–57°.

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.
