Effect of Mn and Cu Substitution on the SrFeO3 Perovskite for Potential Thermochemical Energy Storage Applications
2021
Perovskites are well-known oxides for thermochemical energy storage applications (TCES) since they show a great potential for spontaneous O2 release due to their non-stoichiometry. Transition-metal-based perovskites are particularly promising candidates for TCES owing to their different oxidation states. It is important to test the thermal behavior of the perovskites for TCES applications; however, the amount of sample that can be used in thermal analyses is limited. The use of redox cycles in fluidized bed tests can offer a more realistic approach, since a larger amount of sample can be used to test the cyclic behavior of the perovskites. In this study, the oxygen release/consumption behavior of Mn- or Cu-substituted SrFeO3 (SrFe0.5M0.5O3; M: Mn or Cu) under redox cycling was investigated via thermal analysis and fluidized bed tests. The reaction enthalpies of the perovskites were also calculated via differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Cu substitution in SrFeO3 increased the performance significantly for both cyclic stability and oxygen release/uptake capacity. Mn substitution also increased the cyclic stability; however, the presence of Mn as a substitute for Fe did not improve the oxygen release/uptake performance of the perovskite.
