Abstract

Pr23Pt7Cd4 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3mc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are nine inequivalent Pr sites. In the first Pr site, Pr is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Pt and two Cd atoms. Both Pr–Pt bond lengths are 2.96 Å. There are one shorter (3.67 Å) and one longer (3.70 Å) Pr–Cd bond lengths. In the second Pr site, Pr is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three Pt atoms. There are two shorter (3.00 Å) and one longer (3.09 Å) Pr–Pt bond lengths. In the third Pr site, Pr is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two Pt and two equivalent Cd atoms. There are one shorter (2.96 Å) and one longer (2.97 Å) Pr–Pt bond lengths. Both Pr–Cd bond lengths are 3.66 Å. In the fourth Pr site, Pr is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three Pt and three Cd atoms. There are one shorter (2.96 Å) and two longer (2.98 Å) Pr–Pt bond lengths. There are two shorter (3.55 Å) and one longer (3.60 Å) Pr–Cd bond lengths. In the fifth Pr site, Pr is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pt and one Cd atom. Both Pr–Pt bond lengths are 3.72 Å. The Pr–Cd bond length is 3.44 Å. In the sixth Pr site, Pr is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Pt atoms. All Pr–Pt bond lengths are 2.98 Å. In the seventh Pr site, Pr is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to four Pt and one Cd atom. There are two shorter (2.91 Å) and two longer (3.64 Å) Pr–Pt bond lengths. The Pr–Cd bond length is 3.44 Å. In the eighth Pr site, Pr is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two Pt and two equivalent Cd atoms. There are one shorter (3.54 Å) and one longer (3.70 Å) Pr–Pt bond lengths. Both Pr–Cd bond lengths are 3.46 Å. In the ninth Pr site, Pr is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Pt and three equivalent Cd atoms. All Pr–Pt bond lengths are 2.97 Å. All Pr–Cd bond lengths are 3.60 Å. There are three inequivalent Pt sites. In the first Pt site, Pt is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to nine Pr atoms. In the second Pt site, Pt is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to eight Pr atoms. In the third Pt site, Pt is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to nine Pr atoms. There are two inequivalent Cd sites. In the first Cd site, Cd is bonded to nine Pr and three equivalent Cd atoms to form distorted face-sharing CdPr9Cd3 cuboctahedra. All Cd–Cd bond lengths are 3.24 Å. In the second Cd site, Cd is bonded to nine Pr and three Cd atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and face-sharing CdPr9Cd3 cuboctahedra. Both Cd–Cd bond lengths are 3.27 Å.

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.
