Abstract

Ti11Se4 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are seventeen inequivalent Ti sites. In the first Ti site, Ti is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to ten Ti atoms. There are a spread of Ti–Ti bond distances ranging from 2.79–2.90 Å. In the second Ti site, Ti is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to one Ti and two equivalent Se atoms. Both Ti–Se bond lengths are 2.59 Å. In the third Ti site, Ti is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five Se atoms. There are a spread of Ti–Se bond distances ranging from 2.59–2.72 Å. In the fourth Ti site, Ti is bonded to five Se atoms to form distorted edge-sharing TiSe5 trigonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Ti–Se bond distances ranging from 2.52–2.63 Å. In the fifth Ti site, Ti is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Ti and two Se atoms. There are one shorter (2.67 Å) and one longer (2.81 Å) Ti–Se bond lengths. In the sixth Ti site, Ti is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent Ti and one Se atom. The Ti–Se bond length is 2.71 Å. In the seventh Ti site, Ti is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three Se atoms. There are a spread of Ti–Se bond distances ranging from 2.58–2.69 Å. In the eighth Ti site, Ti is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four Se atoms. There are two shorter (2.63 Å) and two longer (2.65 Å) Ti–Se bond lengths. In the ninth Ti site, Ti is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four Se atoms. There are two shorter (2.62 Å) and two longer (2.64 Å) Ti–Se bond lengths. In the tenth Ti site, Ti is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four Se atoms. There are two shorter (2.64 Å) and two longer (2.65 Å) Ti–Se bond lengths. In the eleventh Ti site, Ti is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three Se atoms. There are one shorter (2.56 Å) and two longer (2.65 Å) Ti–Se bond lengths. In the twelfth Ti site, Ti is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to two Se atoms. There are one shorter (2.63 Å) and one longer (2.74 Å) Ti–Se bond lengths. In the thirteenth Ti site, Ti is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four Se atoms. There are two shorter (2.63 Å) and two longer (2.64 Å) Ti–Se bond lengths. In the fourteenth Ti site, Ti is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Se atoms. Both Ti–Se bond lengths are 2.62 Å. In the fifteenth Ti site, Ti is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two Se atoms. Both Ti–Se bond lengths are 2.66 Å. In the sixteenth Ti site, Ti is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four Se atoms. All Ti–Se bond lengths are 2.61 Å. In the seventeenth Ti site, Ti is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Se atom. The Ti–Se bond length is 2.72 Å. There are six inequivalent Se sites. In the first Se site, Se is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Ti atoms. In the second Se site, Se is bonded to seven Ti atoms to form distorted edge-sharing SeTi7 pentagonal bipyramids. In the third Se site, Se is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Ti atoms. In the fourth Se site, Se is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Ti atoms. In the fifth Se site, Se is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Ti atoms. In the sixth Se site, Se is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Ti atoms.

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.
