Materials Data on Ca4Ti3FeO12 by Materials Project

Abstract

Ca4Ti3FeO12 is Orthorhombic Perovskite-derived structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ca sites. In the first Ca site, Ca is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to five O atoms. There are a spread of Ca–O bond distances ranging from 2.35–2.47 Å. In the second Ca site, Ca is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to five O atoms. There are a spread of Ca–O bond distances ranging from 2.35–2.49 Å. There are three inequivalent Ti sites. In the first Ti site, Ti is bonded to six O atoms to form TiO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent TiO6 octahedra and corners with four equivalent FeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 20–26°. There are a spread of Ti–O bond distances ranging from 1.95–1.97 Å. In the second Ti site, Ti is bonded to six O atoms to form TiO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent FeO6 octahedra and corners with four equivalent TiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 19–27°. All Ti–O bond lengths are 1.97 Å. In the third Ti site, Ti is bonded to six O atoms to form corner-sharing TiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 19–26°. All Ti–O bond lengths are 1.96 Å. Fe is bonded to six O atoms to form FeO6 octahedra that share corners with six TiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 20–27°. There is two shorter (1.97 Å) and four longer (1.98 Å) Fe–O bond length. There are six inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two Ca and two Ti atoms. In the second O site, O is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Ca and two Ti atoms. In the third O site, O is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two Ca, one Ti, and one Fe atom. In the fourth O site, O is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two Ca and two Ti atoms. In the fifth O site, O is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Ca, one Ti, and one Fe atom. In the sixth O site, O is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two Ca, one Ti, and one Fe 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.
