Calcium-looping-based thermochemical energy storage (TCES) technology can be embraced for peak load shifting in renewable energy generation systems. However, the energy storage properties of Ca-based materials rapidly decay after multiple cycles. In this study, a synergistic strategy involving pyroligneous acid impregnation and Mn–Co–Al incorporation was developed to improve the pore structure, enhance the oxygen vacancy concentration, and boost antisintering performance of the calcium-based composites, thereby significantly improving their TCES properties and cyclic durability. The modified CaO-based composites were systematically analyzed using various characterization methods to evaluate their heat storage performance, sintering resistance mechanism, and physicochemical properties. Characterization results revealed that the codoped sample with Ca:Mn:Co:Al = 100:12:4:5 (PACa-Mn12Co4Al5) possessed a loose and porous surface with a measured specific surface area of 13.72 m2/g, providing channels for CO2 diffusion into the inner particles. Ca3CoMnO6 and Ca3Al2O6, acting as inert supports, were uniformly distributed in PACa-Mn12Co4Al5, effectively mitigating sintering. The addition of Mn–Co–Al strengthened the basicity and promoted oxygen vacancy formation in PACa-Mn12Co4Al5. The oxygen vacancies encouraged the formation of ion diffusion channels, reducing the O2– transport resistance across the surface and within the bulk of PACa-Mn12Co4Al5, thereby improving the reaction activity and conversion efficiency. PACa-Mn12Co4Al5 demonstrated excellent heat storage performance under calcination at 750 °C and carbonation at 850 °C. After 40 and 100 cycles, its energy storage density remained at 97.29% and 84.65% of the initial value (1212.79 kJ/kg), respectively. Moreover, the average radiation absorptance of PACa-Mn12Co4Al5 reached 59.85%, 5.26 times that of limestone-based CaO. Therefore, PACa-Mn12Co4Al5 is a promising heat storage material, providing guidance for the industrial application of Ca-based TCES materials.

Municipal solid waste incineration fly ash (MSWI-FA) has been strictly controlled as hazardous waste globally because it contains various heavy metals and dioxins. This study prepared a nanometallic Al/CaO (n-Al/CaO) dispersion mixture via ball-milling as a reductive stabilization reagent for the simultaneous immobilization of heavy metals and detoxification of POPs like substance in MSWI-FA. Under optimal conditions, Cu, Zn, Cd, Cr, Ni, and Pb had been significantly immobilized (over 99.9 %) and the leaching concentration of Zn, Cd, Cr, Ni, and Pb were below the detectable limit. Simultaneously, 82.43 % of HCB can be destructed into alkanes and amorphous carbon. The porous structure of the fly ash and alkaline surface of n-Al/CaO promoted the adsorption and cracking of HCB. The highly active n-Al/CaO interacted with water as the hydrogen donor to promote the reductive dechlorination process. Hydrocalumite was a new mineral formed from the adsorption and complexation of heavy metal. Therefore, n-Al/CaO can strengthen the control of heavy metals in the S/S treatment of MSWI-FA, effectively detoxify chlorinated organics, and reduce environmental health risks.

Integrated CO2 Capture and Conversion with Dry Reforming of Methane (ICCC-DRM) offers a promising route for syngas production but is currently hampered by the rapid degradation of traditional Ni/CaO dual-function materials (DFMs) due to Ni sintering, coke deposition, and severe CaO volume expansion. Herein, we designed a redox-stable Ni/CaTi0.95Ce0.05O3/CaO composite DFM via a charge-buffering lattice strategy and unraveled the self-adaptive lattice breathing mechanism. Specifically, the Ce-induced lattice distortion activates lattice oxygen (Olatt) and lowers the migration energy barrier for Ni in the perovskite structure, thereby driving Ni self-regeneration at 650 °C. Crucially, the reversible Ce3+/Ce4+ redox couple actively buffers the lattice stress induced by Ni self-regeneration via dynamic charge balancing. This mechanism maintains a stable oxygen vacancy (VO) concentration during cycling, thereby inhibiting structural deterioration. Furthermore, continuous CaO–CaTiO3 phase boundaries facilitate intracrystalline CO2 diffusion and act as mechanical buffers against volume stress. Consequently, the DFM exhibits high stability, retaining over 97% of the CO2 capture capacity after 20 cycles and sustaining 75% of the CO2 conversion with a near-unity H2/CO ratio over 60 long-term cycles. This robust cyclic stability demonstrates its strong potential for practical and long-term continuous CO2 capture and conversion.

In modern phosphor materials, in contrast to single-band emission, simultaneous photoluminescence through two or more emission bands enables broad and tailorable emission color, but requires fine control of activator precipitation on specific crystallographic sites. This presents a major obstacle in the design of tunable emitters, since dedicated control of site occupancy is rarely possible. Here, a new paradigm of tunability is considered, which overcomes this limitation. It is demonstrated in CaO:Mn 2+ that single- and dual-band emission can be generated by involving only a single type of crystallographic sites. This enables tailoring of the emission color alone through dopant concentration. The two emission bands exhibit different spectral, dynamic, and thermal characteristics, but very similar excitation spectra. While the variations in thermal quenching provide a tool for tunability, the variations in decay behavior suggest interesting potential for lifetime-multiplexing and coding. Energy transfer is observed between the two emission bands, using time-resolved emission spectra. From the analysis of crystal structure, spectral data, electron paramagnetic resonance analyses, and density functional theory calculations analyses, it is found that the emission bands at ≈600 and 660 nm originate from isolated Mn 2+ ions and superexchange reactions in Mn 2+ Mn 2+ dimers, respectively.

Recently, in the Al 2 O 3 –CaO–Cr 2 O 3 system, a Cr 3+ ternary phase named wuboraite (CaAl 2 Cr 2 O 7 ) was synthesized for the first time in an air atmosphere, which later showed an undetermined hint of solid solubility between Cr 3+ and Al 3+ in different atmosphere. In the present investigation, the solubility limits (or x values) of the CaAl 2± x Cr 2± x O 7 were determined by conducting high-temperature equilibrium experiments in both air and N 2 atmospheres with the various proportionate mixtures of CaO, Al 2 O 3 , and Cr 2 O 3 , and subsequently using powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) analysis. In the air atmosphere, the Cr richest end-member of the Wuboraite solid solution phase is CaAl 1.77 Cr 2.23 O 7 (or x = 0.23), while that of Al richest end-member is CaAl 2.18 Cr 1.82 O 7 (or x = 0.18). Whereas, in the N 2 atmosphere, the Cr richest end-member of the wuboraite solid solution phase is CaAl 1.77 Cr 2.23 O 7 (or x = 0.23), while that of Al richest end-member is CaAl 2.15 Cr 1.85 O 7 (or x = 0.15).

The calcium looping is a promising technology to achieve industrial CO 2 capture, and the introduction of oxygen vacancy can promote the CO 2 capture reactivity of CaO-based sorbents. In this work, DFT calculations were performed to investigate the CO 2 adsorption by CaO in the presence of oxygen vacancy defect. The presence of oxygen vacancy reduces the band gap of CaO surface, which results from the delocalization of Ca 2p orbital. Besides, the electron accumulation at the oxygen vacancy occurs due to the unsaturated Ca-O bonds, and the reaction possibility is promoted neighbouring the defect. The top site of oxygen vacancy defect of CaO is favourable for CO 2 adsorption. The adsorption energy of CO 2 on CaO with oxygen vacancy achieves − 2.52 eV, which is 1.81 times as high as that on pristine CaO. Due to strong interaction between CO 2 and CaO with oxygen vacancy, CO 2 migration from this site is more difficult, while the following diffusion is more prone to occur. In the presence of steam, CO 2 adsorption energy is enhanced to − 2.70 eV on CaO with oxygen vacancy, and the distance from CO 2 radical to surface is intuitively reduced, which results from the electrons donated from defect and neighbouring Ca atoms, while CO 2 diffusion difficulty is increased. This work provides an incisive investigation for structural, electronic, and thermodynamic characteristics of CO 2 adsorption and diffusion on CaO in the presence of oxygen vacancy defect, and it can shed light on rational synthesis and functional design of surface-active sites of CaO-based sorbents.

The thermal insulation performance of cubic ZrO2–CaO solid solution (CSZ) (16 mol % CaO) and monoclinic ZrO2 (MZ) was investigated in a two-stage multi-anvil press under a pressure of 10 GPa and temperatures up to 1800°C through in situ temperature measurements with the same cell assembly. The results show that the cell temperatures with CSZ as the thermal insulator were always higher than that when thermal insulator was MZ at the same heating power, and the maximum deviation value was 600°C (50% higher) within the measurable range. These two materials were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermal conductivity measurement and scanning electron microscopy. It revealed that the point defects existed in CSZ dominated the thermal insulation performance at high pressure, the same as what at normal pressure. It was also found that the heating process was more controllable when using CSZ as thermal insulator under high pressure.

This present work aimed to attain a high-performance tape for LTCC application by using butyl benzyl phthalate as plasticizer in tape casting slurry of CaO–SiO 2 –B 2 O 3 glass–ceramics. The plasticizing mechanism of butyl benzyl phthalate in suspensions was demonstrated in depth. Dried droplets of binder were prepared to preliminarily judge the compatibility of binder and plasticizer, and the optimal additive amount was determined by rheological characteristic. In addition, a series of qualitative and quantitative methods were carried out to assess the tensile strength and elongation of green tapes, microwave properties and densification of sintered bodies. The experimental results revealed that when the addition of BBP was up to 45 wt%, tape casting slurries had the optimal fluidity and green tapes obtained the excellent performance with density at 1.65 g/cm 3 , tensile strength at 1.43 MPa and elongation at 13.4%. Meanwhile, sintered bodies fired at 850 °C achieved the highest density at 2.42 g/cm 3 with ε r = 5.94 and tanδ = 10 × 10 −4 at 10 GHz.

Hexachlorobenzene (HCB) contamination of soils remains a significant environmental challenge all over the world. Reductive stabilization is a developing technology that can decompose the HCB with a dechlorination process. A nanometallic Al/CaO (n-Al/CaO) dispersion mixture was developed utilizing ball-milling technology in this study. The dechlorination efficiency of HCB in contaminated soils by the n-Al/CaO grinding treatment was evaluated. Response surface methodology (RSM) was employed to investigate the effects of three variables (soil moisture content, n-Al/CaO dosage and grinding time) and the interactions between these variables under the Box-Behnken Design (BBD). A high regression coefficient value (R2= 0.9807) and lowpvalue (<0.0001) of the quadratic model indicated that the model was accurate in predicting the experimental results. The optimal soil moisture content, n-Al/CaO dosage, and grinding time were found to be 7% (m/m), 17.7% (m/m), and 24 h, respectively, in the experimental ranges and levels. Under optimal conditions, the dechlorination efficiency was 80%. The intermediate product analysis indicated that dechlorination was the process by stepwise loss of chloride atoms. The main pathway observed within 24 h was HCB → pentachlorobenzene (PeCB) → 1,2,3,4-tetrachlorobenzene (TeCB) and 1,2,4,5-TeCB. The results indicated that the moderate soil moisture content was crucial for the hydrodechlorination of HCB. A probable mechanism was proposed wherein water acted like a hydrogen donor and promoted the hydrodechlorination process. The potential application of n-Al/CaO is an environmentally-friendly and cost-effective option for decontamination of HCB-contaminated soils.Keywords:nanometallic Al/CaO;ball milling;dechlorination;response surface methodology

Herein, a hollow microtubular Fe/Mn-promoted CaO-Ca 12 Al 14 O 33 bi-functional material was prepared by the bio-template method and used for H 2 production from sorption enhanced water gas shift (SEWGS). The microtubular Fe/Mn-promoted CaO-Ca 12 Al 14 O 33 exhibits excellent CO 2 capture and H 2 production performance in SEWGS/regeneration cycles. The stable hollow microtubular structure improves available adsorption and catalytic sites in Fe/Mn-promoted CaO-Ca 12 Al 14 O 33 for CO 2 capture and H 2 production. Mn addition improves CO 2 affinity capacity of the microtubular material. The Fe-Mn interaction increases redox ability of Fe 3+ /Fe 3+, 2+ , which promotes CO conversion. Moreover, the formed Ca 2 Fe 2 O 5 and Ca 2 MnO 4 both increase oxygen vacancies to promote catalytic activity of the microtubular material for WGS and its CO 2 capture capacity. The CO conversions for the microtubular material with the Fe/Mn/Al/Ca molar ratio= 10/2/10/100 are 98.7% and 94.0% after 20 cycles under the mild and severe calcination conditions, respectively. The hollow microtubular bi-functional material shows good prospect for efficient H 2 production from SEWGS.

To achieve high heat storage capacity, excellent mechanical, optical and thermal properties in calcium looping thermochemical heat storage, the novel SiC/Mn co-doped CaO pellets were fabricated by the extrusion-spheronization method. The heat storage performances of the novel CaO pellets were studied under harsh calcination (pure CO 2 , 950 °C) and pressurized carbonation (pure CO 2 , 13 bar, 800 °C) conditions in a dual fixed-bed reactor system. The additions of SiC and Mn enhance the cyclic stability of CaO pellets during the multiple heat storage cycles. When the mass ratio of CaO:SiC:MnO 2 is 100:5:5, the co-doped CaO pellets exhibit an excellent heat storage performance. The effective conversion and heat storage density of the co-doped CaO pellets are 41.5% higher than those of original CaO pellets, respectively. Meanwhile, the co-doped CaO pellets possess a good optical absorption capacity and a high thermal conductivity , which are 17.6 and 3.2 times as high as those of original CaO pellets, respectively. In addition, the co-doped CaO pellets show much higher crushing strength and lower weight loss during the attrition test. The stronger interaction between SiC and CaO cluster mitigates the movement of CaO, which is determined by density functional theory simulation. The adsorption of CO 2 onto the CaO surface is enhanced by the addition of Mn. Therefore, SiC/Mn co-doped CaO pellets used in the calcium looping thermochemical heat storage process appear promising.

In this work, H 2 production performances from Enteromorpha prolifera and its char by absorption-enhanced steam gasification using Ce-doped CaO material were investigated. The Ce-doped CaO material improves the H 2 production from Enteromorpha prolifera by steam gasification, which achieves 79.0 vol% H 2 in the syngas. The Ce-doped CaO material with the mass ratio of CeO 2 /CaO = 10:90 seems more appropriate for high H 2 production, tar and char conversion. The presence of CeO 2 leads to good cyclic stability in H 2 production from Enteromorpha prolifera char during the gasification/calcination cycles. After 20 cycles, H 2 concentration and yield from Enteromorpha prolifera char achieve 77.8 vol% and 141.8 mL/g using Ce-doped CaO material, respectively. The CeO 2 facilitates the conductivity of electrons in CaO surface due to the existence of Ce 3+ species, thus CO 2 capture, water gas shift, and steam methane reforming reactions are promoted by CeO 2 . The Ce-doped CaO material maintains the porous microstructure and fine particles during the cycles due to the support of CeO 2 . Therefore, H 2 productions from Enteromorpha prolifera and its char by absorption-enhanced steam gasification using Ce-doped CaO material appear promising.
