Title: Redox cycles with doped calcium manganites for thermochemical energy storage to 1000 °C

Abstract

Redox cycles of doped calcium manganite perovskites (CaMnO_3–δ) are studied for cost-effective thermochemical energy storage at temperatures up to 1000 °C for concentrating solar power and other applications. Furthermore, if the thermodynamics and kinetics for heat-driven reduction can be tailored for high temperatures and industrially accessible low O₂ partial pressures (P_O2 ≥ 10^–4 bar), perovskite redox cycles can offer high specific energy storage at temperatures much higher than state-of-the-art molten-salt subsystems.

Modified Calcium Manganites for Thermochemical Energy Storage Applications

Journal Article Miller, James E. ; Babiniec, Sean M. ; Coker, Eric N. ; ... - Frontiers in Energy Research

CaAl _0.2 Mn _0.8 O _3-δ (CAM28) and CaTi _0.2 Mn _0.8 O _3-δ (CTM28) are perovskite metal oxides developed for high-temperature thermochemical energy storage (TCES) applications, e.g., in support of air Brayton power generation. Previous reports for these compounds focus on the equilibrium non-stoichiometry (δ) as a function of temperature and oxygen partial pressure (pO ₂ ) and the endotherm (or exotherm) accompanying changes in δ resulting from thermal reduction (or re-oxidation). Herein, we report results for elemental substitution and doping (Al, Co, Fe, La, Sr, Ti, Y, Zn, and Zr) of calcium manganites (CM) that establish the preferencemore »« less

CSP ELEMENTS: High-Temperature Thermochemical Storage with Redox-Stable Perovskites for Concentrating Solar Power

Technical Report Jackson, Gregory S ; Braun, Robert J ; Ma, Zhiwen ; ...

This project was motivated by the potential of reducible perovskite oxides for high-temperature, thermochemical energy storage (TCES) to provide dispatchable renewable heat for concentrating solar power (CSP) plants. This project sought to identify and characterize perovskites from earth-abundant cations with high reducibility below 1000 °C for coupling TCES of solar energy to super-critical CO2 (s-CO2) plants that operate above temperature limits (< 600 °C) of current molten-salt storage. Specific TCES > 750 kJ/kg for storage cycles between 500 and 900 °C was targeted with a system cost goal of $15/kWhth. To realize feasibility of TCES systems based on reducible perovskites,more »« less
Aluminum-doped calcium manganite particles for solar thermochemical energy storage: Reactor design, particle characterization, and heat and mass transfer modeling

Journal Article Schrader, Andrew J. ; Bush, H. Evan ; Ranjan, Devesh ; ... - International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer

A two-step cycle is discussed for solar thermochemical energy storage based on particulate aluminum-doped calcium manganite reduction/oxidation reactions for direct integration into Air Brayton cycles. The two steps encompass 1) the storage of concentrated solar irradiation within endothermic reduction of aluminum-doped calcium manganite and 2) the delivery of heat to an Air-Brayton cycle via exothermic re-oxidation of oxygen-deficient aluminum-doped calcium magnanite. A 5 kW_th scale solar thermochemical reactor operating under vacuum was designed, modeled, and optimized to thermally reduce a continuous, gravity-driven flow of aluminum-doped calcium manganite particles. The granular flows were characterized in a tilt-flow rig, and particle imagemore »« less

Experimental demonstration of a 5 kW_th granular-flow reactor for solar thermochemical energy storage with aluminum-doped calcium manganite particles

Journal Article Schrader, Andrew ; Schieber, Garrett ; Ambrosini, Andrea ; ... - Applied Thermal Engineering

A two-step cycle was discussed for solar thermochemical energy storage based on aluminum-doped calcium manganite reduction/oxidation reactions for direct integration into Air Brayton cycles. The two steps encompassed 1) the storage of concentrated solar direct irradiation via the thermal reduction of aluminum-doped calcium manganite and 2) the delivery of heat to an Air-Brayton cycle via re-oxidation of oxygen-deficient aluminum-doped calcium manganite. The re-oxidized aluminum-doped calcium manganite was fed back to the first step to complete the cycle. A 5 kWth solar thermochemical reactor operating under vacuum was fabricated and tested to examine the first cycle reduction step. Reactor operating conditionsmore »« less

Doped calcium manganites for advanced high-temperature thermochemical energy storage

Journal Article Babiniec, Sean M. ; Coker, Eric N. ; Miller, James E. ; ... - International Journal of Energy Research

Developing efficient thermal storage for concentrating solar power plants is essential to reducing the cost of generated electricity, extending or shifting the hours of operation, and facilitating renewable penetration into the grid. Perovskite materials of the CaB_xMn_1-xO_3-δ family, where B = Al or Ti, promise improvements in cost and energy storage density over other perovskites currently under investigation. Thermogravimetric analysis of the thermal reduction and reoxidation of these materials was used to extract equilibrium thermodynamic parameters. Lastly, the results demonstrate that these novel thermochemical energy storage media display the highest reaction enthalpy capacity for perovskites reported to date, with amore »« less
