Materials Data on SrLa4TiAl4O15 by Materials Project

Abstract

SrLa4TiAl4O15 is (Cubic) Perovskite-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Sr2+ is bonded to twelve O2- atoms to form SrO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with two equivalent SrO12 cuboctahedra, corners with ten LaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent SrO12 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent LaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent TiO6 octahedra, and faces with four equivalent AlO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Sr–O bond distances ranging from 2.71–2.77 Å. There are two inequivalent La3+ sites. In the first La3+ site, La3+ is bonded to twelve O2- atoms to form LaO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent SrO12 cuboctahedra, corners with eight LaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent SrO12 cuboctahedra, faces with four LaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent TiO6 octahedra, and faces with six AlO6 octahedra. There are a spread of La–O bond distances ranging from 2.65–2.78 Å. In the second La3+ site, La3+ is bonded to twelve O2- atoms to form LaO12 cuboctahedra that share a cornercorner with one SrO12 cuboctahedra, corners with eleven LaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with six LaO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight AlO6 octahedra. There are a spread of La–O bond distances ranging from 2.65–2.73 Å. Ti4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form TiO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent TiO6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent AlO6 octahedra, faces with four equivalent SrO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with four equivalent LaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–3°. There is two shorter (1.93 Å) and four longer (1.95 Å) Ti–O bond length. There are two inequivalent Al3+ sites. In the first Al3+ site, Al3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form AlO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent TiO6 octahedra, corners with four AlO6 octahedra, faces with two equivalent SrO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with six LaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–3°. There are a spread of Al–O bond distances ranging from 1.90–1.93 Å. In the second Al3+ site, Al3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form AlO6 octahedra that share corners with six AlO6 octahedra and faces with eight LaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–1°. There is four shorter (1.91 Å) and two longer (1.93 Å) Al–O bond length. There are six inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two equivalent Sr2+, two equivalent La3+, and two equivalent Ti4+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four La3+ and two Al3+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four equivalent La3+ and two equivalent Al3+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two equivalent Sr2+, two equivalent La3+, one Ti4+, and one Al3+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Sr2+, three La3+, and two equivalent Al3+ atoms. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four La3+ and two equivalent Al3+ 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.
