The pairs of Cu2O/CuO and CoO/Co3O4 as the carriers of transferring oxygen and storing heat are essential for the recently emerged high-temperature thermochemical energy storage (TCES) system. Reported research results of Cu2O and CoO oxidation kinetics show that the reaction rate near equilibrium decreases with the temperature, which leads to the negative activation energy obtained using the Arrhenius equation and apparent kinetics models. This study develops a first-principle-based theoretical model to analyze the Cu2O and CoO oxidation kinetics. In this model, the density functional theory (DFT) is adopted to determine the reaction pathways and to obtain the energy barriers of elementary reactions; then, the DFT results are introduced into the transition state theory (TST) to calculate the reaction rate constants; finally, a rate equation is developed to describe both the surface elemental reactions and the lattice oxygen concentration in a grain. The reaction mechanism obtained from DFT and kinetic rate constants obtained from TST are directly implemented into the rate equation to predict the oxidation kinetics of Cu2O without fitting experimental data. The accuracy of the developed theory is validated by experimental data obtained from the thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA). Comparing the developed theory with the traditional apparent models, the reasons why the latter cannot appropriately predict the true oxidation characteristics are explained. The reaction rate is jointly controlled by thermodynamics (reaction driving force) and kinetics (reaction rate constant). Without considering the effect of the reaction driving force, the negative apparent activation energy of Cu2O oxidation is obtained. However, for CoO oxidation, the negative apparent activation energy is still obtained although the effect of the reaction driving force is considered. According to the DFT results, the activation energy of the overall CoO oxidation reaction is negative, but the energy barriers of the elementary reactions are ... |
