Materials Data on BaSr3Yb2(ReO6)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

BaSr3Yb2(ReO6)2 is (Cubic) Perovskite-derived structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ba2+ is bonded to twelve O2- atoms to form BaO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent BaO12 cuboctahedra, corners with six equivalent SrO12 cuboctahedra, faces with six SrO12 cuboctahedra, faces with four YbO6 octahedra, and faces with four ReO6 octahedra. There are six shorter (2.95 Å) and six longer (2.96 Å) Ba–O bond lengths. There are three inequivalent Sr2+ sites. In the first Sr2+ site, Sr2+ is bonded to twelve O2- atoms to form SrO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent BaO12 cuboctahedra, corners with six equivalent SrO12 cuboctahedra, faces with six SrO12 cuboctahedra, faces with four YbO6 octahedra, and faces with four ReO6 octahedra. There are six shorter (2.94 Å) and six longer (2.95 Å) Sr–O bond lengths. In the second Sr2+ site, Sr2+ is bonded to twelve O2- atoms to form SrO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve SrO12 cuboctahedra, faces with three equivalent BaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with three equivalent SrO12 cuboctahedra, faces with four YbO6 octahedra, and faces with four ReO6 octahedra. There are nine shorter (2.95 Å) and three longer (2.96 Å) Sr–O bond lengths. In the third Sr2+ site, Sr2+ is bonded to twelve O2- atoms to form SrO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve SrO12 cuboctahedra, faces with three equivalent BaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with three equivalent SrO12 cuboctahedra, faces with four YbO6 octahedra, and faces with four ReO6 octahedra. There are three shorter (2.94 Å) and nine longer (2.95 Å) Sr–O bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Yb3+ sites. In the first Yb3+ site, Yb3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form YbO6 octahedra that share corners with six ReO6 octahedra, faces with three equivalent BaO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with five SrO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. There are three shorter (2.23 Å) and three longer (2.24 Å) Yb–O bond lengths. In the second Yb3+ site, Yb3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form YbO6 octahedra that share corners with six ReO6 octahedra, a faceface with one BaO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with seven SrO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. All Yb–O bond lengths are 2.23 Å. There are two inequivalent Re5+ sites. In the first Re5+ site, Re5+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form ReO6 octahedra that share corners with six YbO6 octahedra, faces with three equivalent BaO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with five SrO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. There is three shorter (1.93 Å) and three longer (1.94 Å) Re–O bond length. In the second Re5+ site, Re5+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form ReO6 octahedra that share corners with six YbO6 octahedra, a faceface with one BaO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with seven SrO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. There is three shorter (1.93 Å) and three longer (1.94 Å) Re–O bond length. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two equivalent Ba2+, two Sr2+, one Yb3+, and one Re5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four Sr2+, one Yb3+, and one Re5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Ba2+, three Sr2+, one Yb3+, and one Re5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Ba2+, three Sr2+, one Yb3+, and one Re5+ atom.

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.
