Materials Data on Ti4S8Br6O by Materials Project

Abstract

Ti4S8O(Br)6 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of twenty-four hydrobromic acid molecules and four Ti4S8O clusters. In each Ti4S8O cluster, there are four inequivalent Ti3+ sites. In the first Ti3+ site, Ti3+ is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to four S2- and one O2- atom. There are a spread of Ti–S bond distances ranging from 2.42–2.53 Å. The Ti–O bond length is 2.04 Å. In the second Ti3+ site, Ti3+ is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to four S2- and one O2- atom. There are a spread of Ti–S bond distances ranging from 2.41–2.53 Å. The Ti–O bond length is 2.05 Å. In the third Ti3+ site, Ti3+ is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to four S2- and one O2- atom. There are two shorter (2.41 Å) and two longer (2.52 Å) Ti–S bond lengths. The Ti–O bond length is 2.03 Å. In the fourth Ti3+ site, Ti3+ is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to four S2- and one O2- atom. There are a spread of Ti–S bond distances ranging from 2.41–2.52 Å. The Ti–O bond length is 2.04 Å. There are eight inequivalent S2- sites. In the first S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two Ti3+ and one S2- atom. The S–S bond length is 2.05 Å. In the second S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two Ti3+ and one S2- atom. The S–S bond length is 2.05 Å. In the third S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two Ti3+ and one S2- atom. In the fourth S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two Ti3+ and one S2- atom. The S–S bond length is 2.05 Å. In the fifth S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two Ti3+ and one S2- atom. In the sixth S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two Ti3+ and one S2- atom. In the seventh S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two Ti3+ and one S2- atom. The S–S bond length is 2.05 Å. In the eighth S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two Ti3+ and one S2- atom. O2- is bonded in a distorted tetrahedral geometry to four Ti3+ 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.
