Abstract

K2PdSe10 crystallizes in the orthorhombic I2_12_12_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent K1+ sites. In the first K1+ site, K1+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven Se+0.60- atoms. There are a spread of K–Se bond distances ranging from 3.38–4.03 Å. In the second K1+ site, K1+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven Se+0.60- atoms. There are a spread of K–Se bond distances ranging from 3.39–4.00 Å. There are two inequivalent Pd4+ sites. In the first Pd4+ site, Pd4+ is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four Se+0.60- atoms. All Pd–Se bond lengths are 2.49 Å. In the second Pd4+ site, Pd4+ is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four Se+0.60- atoms. All Pd–Se bond lengths are 2.48 Å. There are ten inequivalent Se+0.60- sites. In the first Se+0.60- site, Se+0.60- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two K1+, one Pd4+, and one Se+0.60- atom. The Se–Se bond length is 2.38 Å. In the second Se+0.60- site, Se+0.60- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one K1+ and two Se+0.60- atoms. There are one shorter (2.38 Å) and one longer (2.41 Å) Se–Se bond lengths. In the third Se+0.60- site, Se+0.60- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two K1+, one Pd4+, and one Se+0.60- atom. The Se–Se bond length is 2.38 Å. In the fourth Se+0.60- site, Se+0.60- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two K1+, one Pd4+, and one Se+0.60- atom. The Se–Se bond length is 2.38 Å. In the fifth Se+0.60- site, Se+0.60- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one K1+ and two Se+0.60- atoms. The Se–Se bond length is 2.41 Å. In the sixth Se+0.60- site, Se+0.60- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two K1+, one Pd4+, and one Se+0.60- atom. In the seventh Se+0.60- site, Se+0.60- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one K1+ and two Se+0.60- atoms. The Se–Se bond length is 2.39 Å. In the eighth Se+0.60- site, Se+0.60- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one K1+ and two Se+0.60- atoms. The Se–Se bond length is 2.42 Å. In the ninth Se+0.60- site, Se+0.60- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one K1+ and two Se+0.60- atoms. The Se–Se bond length is 2.39 Å. In the tenth Se+0.60- site, Se+0.60- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one K1+ and two Se+0.60- atoms. The Se–Se bond length is 2.42 Å.

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.
