Materials Data on Sr2Pr(FeO3)3 by Materials Project

Abstract

Sr2Pr(FeO3)3 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Sr sites. In the first Sr site, Sr is bonded to twelve O atoms to form distorted SrO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with three equivalent PrO12 cuboctahedra, corners with nine SrO12 cuboctahedra, faces with three equivalent SrO12 cuboctahedra, faces with three equivalent PrO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight FeO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Sr–O bond distances ranging from 2.58–3.01 Å. In the second Sr site, Sr is bonded to twelve O atoms to form distorted SrO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with three equivalent PrO12 cuboctahedra, corners with nine SrO12 cuboctahedra, faces with three equivalent SrO12 cuboctahedra, faces with three equivalent PrO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight FeO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Sr–O bond distances ranging from 2.56–3.11 Å. Pr is bonded to twelve O atoms to form distorted PrO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with six SrO12 cuboctahedra, corners with six equivalent PrO12 cuboctahedra, faces with six SrO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight FeO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Pr–O bond distances ranging from 2.51–3.02 Å. There are four inequivalent Fe sites. In the first Fe site, Fe is bonded to six O atoms to form FeO6 octahedra that share corners with six FeO6 octahedra, faces with three equivalent PrO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with five SrO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 12–14°. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 1.95–1.99 Å. In the second Fe site, Fe is bonded to six O atoms to form FeO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent FeO6 octahedra, faces with two equivalent PrO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with six equivalent SrO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 8–19°. There is four shorter (1.97 Å) and two longer (1.98 Å) Fe–O bond length. In the third Fe site, Fe is bonded to six O atoms to form FeO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent FeO6 octahedra, faces with two equivalent PrO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with six equivalent SrO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 12–14°. There is two shorter (1.96 Å) and four longer (1.98 Å) Fe–O bond length. In the fourth Fe site, Fe is bonded to six O atoms to form FeO6 octahedra that share corners with six FeO6 octahedra, faces with three equivalent PrO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with five SrO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 8–19°. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 1.96–1.98 Å. There are six inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Sr, one Pr, and two Fe atoms. In the second O site, O is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two Sr, two equivalent Pr, and two Fe atoms. In the third O site, O is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Sr, one Pr, and two Fe atoms. In the fourth O site, O is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Sr, one Pr, and two Fe atoms. In the fifth O site, O is bonded to three equivalent Sr, one Pr, and two Fe atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing OSr3PrFe2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–63°. In the sixth O site, O is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two Sr, two equivalent Pr, and two Fe 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.
