Abstract

Sr2Ti6N2O11 crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Sr2+ sites. In the first Sr2+ site, Sr2+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent N3- and four O2- atoms. Both Sr–N bond lengths are 2.63 Å. There are two shorter (2.69 Å) and two longer (2.74 Å) Sr–O bond lengths. In the second Sr2+ site, Sr2+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent N3- and six O2- atoms. Both Sr–N bond lengths are 2.74 Å. There are a spread of Sr–O bond distances ranging from 2.63–3.00 Å. There are six inequivalent Ti4+ sites. In the first Ti4+ site, Ti4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form TiO6 octahedra that share corners with four TiNO5 octahedra and edges with three TiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 11–22°. There are a spread of Ti–O bond distances ranging from 1.86–2.11 Å. In the second Ti4+ site, Ti4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing TiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 30°.

In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Sr2+ and two Ti4+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Sr2+ and two Ti4+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three Ti4+ atoms. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded to four Ti4+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OTi4 trigonal pyramids.

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.
