Abstract

Cs8Na4HoY3Cl24 is (Cubic) Perovskite-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Cs1+ sites. In the first Cs1+ site, Cs1+ is bonded to twelve Cl1- atoms to form CsCl12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve CsCl12 cuboctahedra, faces with six CsCl12 cuboctahedra, faces with four NaCl6 octahedra, and faces with four YCl6 octahedra. There are ten shorter (3.85 Å) and two longer (3.86 Å) Cs–Cl bond lengths. In the second Cs1+ site, Cs1+ is bonded to twelve Cl1- atoms to form CsCl12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve CsCl12 cuboctahedra, faces with six CsCl12 cuboctahedra, a faceface with one HoCl6 octahedra, faces with three YCl6 octahedra, and faces with four NaCl6 octahedra. There are ten shorter (3.85 Å) and two longer (3.86 Å) Cs–Cl bond lengths. In the third Cs1+ site, Cs1+ is bonded to twelve Cl1- atoms to form CsCl12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve CsCl12 cuboctahedra, faces with six CsCl12 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent HoCl6 octahedra, faces with two equivalent YCl6 octahedra, and faces with four NaCl6 octahedra. There are ten shorter (3.85 Å) and two longer (3.86 Å) Cs–Cl bond lengths. There are three inequivalent Na1+ sites.

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.
