Materials Data on Rb2SbCl3F2 by Materials Project

Abstract

Rb2SbCl3F2 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Rb1+ sites. In the first Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six Cl1- and three F1- atoms. There are a spread of Rb–Cl bond distances ranging from 3.42–3.57 Å. There are a spread of Rb–F bond distances ranging from 3.25–3.32 Å. In the second Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six Cl1- and three F1- atoms. There are a spread of Rb–Cl bond distances ranging from 3.40–3.62 Å. There are a spread of Rb–F bond distances ranging from 3.09–3.20 Å. In the third Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six Cl1- and three F1- atoms. There are a spread of Rb–Cl bond distances ranging from 3.39–3.53 Å. There are a spread of Rb–F bond distances ranging from 3.10–3.22 Å. There are two inequivalent Sb3+ sites. In the first Sb3+ site, Sb3+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three Cl1- and three F1- atoms. There are a spread of Sb–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.91–3.07 Å. There are two shorter (2.00 Å) and one longer (2.01 Å) Sb–F bond lengths. In the second Sb3+ site, Sb3+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six Cl1- atoms. All Sb–Cl bond lengths are 2.68 Å. There are five inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded to four Rb1+ and one Sb3+ atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing ClRb4Sb square pyramids. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four Rb1+ and two equivalent Sb3+ atoms. In the third Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded to four Rb1+ and one Sb3+ atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing ClRb4Sb square pyramids. In the fourth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded to four Rb1+ and one Sb3+ atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing ClRb4Sb square pyramids. In the fifth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four Rb1+, two equivalent Sb3+, and four F1- atoms. There are two shorter (3.39 Å) and two longer (3.42 Å) Cl–F bond lengths. There are three inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three Rb1+, one Sb3+, and one Cl1- atom. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three Rb1+, one Sb3+, and one Cl1- atom. In the third F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three Rb1+ and one Sb3+ atom.

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.
