Materials Data on Sr2La3Fe4CuO15 by Materials Project

Abstract

Sr2La3Fe4CuO15 is (Cubic) Perovskite-derived structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Sr is bonded to twelve O atoms to form SrO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with three equivalent LaO12 cuboctahedra, corners with nine equivalent SrO12 cuboctahedra, faces with six LaO12 cuboctahedra, a faceface with one CuO6 octahedra, and faces with seven FeO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Sr–O bond distances ranging from 2.77–2.82 Å. There are two inequivalent La sites. In the first La site, La is bonded to twelve O atoms to form LaO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve LaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent SrO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight FeO6 octahedra. There are six shorter (2.75 Å) and six longer (2.77 Å) La–O bond lengths. In the second La site, La is bonded to twelve O atoms to form LaO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with three equivalent SrO12 cuboctahedra, corners with nine LaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with three equivalent SrO12 cuboctahedra, faces with three equivalent LaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with three equivalent CuO6 octahedra, and faces with five FeO6 octahedra. There are a spread of La–O bond distances ranging from 2.65–2.83 Å. There are two inequivalent Fe sites. In the first Fe site, Fe is bonded to six O atoms to form FeO6 octahedra that share corners with three equivalent FeO6 octahedra, corners with three equivalent CuO6 octahedra, faces with three equivalent SrO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with five LaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 1–4°. There is three shorter (1.94 Å) and three longer (1.98 Å) Fe–O bond length. In the second Fe site, Fe is bonded to six O atoms to form FeO6 octahedra that share corners with six FeO6 octahedra, faces with four equivalent SrO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with four LaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–1°. There is three shorter (1.94 Å) and three longer (1.96 Å) Fe–O bond length. Cu is bonded to six equivalent O atoms to form CuO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent FeO6 octahedra, faces with two equivalent SrO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with six equivalent LaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 4°. All Cu–O bond lengths are 1.98 Å. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two equivalent Sr, two equivalent La, and two equivalent Fe atoms. In the second O site, O is bonded to one Sr, three equivalent La, one Fe, and one Cu atom to form a mixture of distorted face, edge, and corner-sharing OSrLa3FeCu octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–60°. In the third O site, O is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two equivalent Sr, two La, and two Fe 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.
