Materials Data on BaSr4(FeO3)5 by Materials Project

Abstract

BaSr4(FeO3)5 is (Cubic) Perovskite-derived structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ba is bonded to twelve O atoms to form BaO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent BaO12 cuboctahedra, corners with eight equivalent SrO12 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent SrO12 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent BaO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight equivalent FeO6 octahedra. There are four shorter (2.78 Å) and eight longer (2.85 Å) Ba–O bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Sr sites. In the first Sr site, Sr is bonded to twelve O atoms to form SrO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent BaO12 cuboctahedra, corners with eight SrO12 cuboctahedra, a faceface with one BaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with five SrO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight FeO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Sr–O bond distances ranging from 2.72–2.78 Å. In the second Sr site, Sr is bonded to twelve O atoms to form SrO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve SrO12 cuboctahedra, faces with six SrO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight FeO6 octahedra. There are eight shorter (2.77 Å) and four longer (2.78 Å) Sr–O bond lengths. There are three 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 four equivalent BaO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with four equivalent SrO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–3°. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 1.95–2.00 Å. In the second Fe site, Fe is bonded to six O atoms to form FeO6 octahedra that share corners with six FeO6 octahedra and faces with eight SrO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 1.93–1.97 Å. In the third Fe site, Fe is bonded to six O atoms to form FeO6 octahedra that share corners with six FeO6 octahedra and faces with eight equivalent SrO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. There is two shorter (1.96 Å) and four longer (1.97 Å) Fe–O bond length. There are six inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded to four equivalent Ba and two equivalent Fe atoms to form distorted OBa4Fe2 octahedra that share corners with twenty OBa4Fe2 octahedra, edges with four equivalent OBa4Fe2 octahedra, and faces with eight equivalent OBa2Sr2Fe2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–61°. In the second O site, O is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four equivalent Sr and two Fe atoms. In the third O site, O is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four equivalent Sr and two Fe atoms. In the fourth O site, O is bonded to two equivalent Ba, two equivalent Sr, and two equivalent Fe atoms to form distorted OBa2Sr2Fe2 octahedra that share corners with eighteen OSr4Fe2 octahedra, edges with four OSr4Fe2 octahedra, and faces with six OBa4Fe2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–61°. In the fifth O site, O is bonded to four Sr and two equivalent Fe atoms to form distorted OSr4Fe2 octahedra that share corners with fourteen OBa2Sr2Fe2 octahedra, edges with four OSr4Fe2 octahedra, and faces with four equivalent OSr4Fe2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–61°. In the sixth O site, O is bonded to four equivalent Sr and two equivalent Fe atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing OSr4Fe2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–60°.

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.
