Materials Data on BaSbSe2F by Materials Project

Abstract

BaSbSe2F crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of one BaSbSe2F sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. there are two inequivalent Ba2+ sites. In the first Ba2+ site, Ba2+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Se2- and four F1- atoms. Both Ba–Se bond lengths are 3.40 Å. There are a spread of Ba–F bond distances ranging from 2.71–2.73 Å. In the second Ba2+ site, Ba2+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Se2- and four F1- atoms. There are a spread of Ba–Se bond distances ranging from 3.46–3.79 Å. There are a spread of Ba–F bond distances ranging from 2.71–2.73 Å. There are two inequivalent Sb3+ sites. In the first Sb3+ site, Sb3+ is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three Se2- atoms. There are a spread of Sb–Se bond distances ranging from 2.55–2.69 Å. In the second Sb3+ site, Sb3+ is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three Se2- atoms. There are a spread of Sb–Se bond distances ranging from 2.54–2.68 Å. There are four inequivalent Se2- sites. In the first Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to two Sb3+ atoms. In the second Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Sb3+ atom. In the third Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to four Ba2+, one Sb3+, and four F1- atoms. There are a spread of Se–F bond distances ranging from 3.54–3.63 Å. In the fourth Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Ba2+ and two Sb3+ atoms. There are two inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded to four Ba2+ and two equivalent Se2- atoms to form a mixture of corner, edge, and face-sharing FBa4Se2 tetrahedra. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded to four Ba2+ and two equivalent Se2- atoms to form a mixture of corner, edge, and face-sharing FBa4Se2 tetrahedra.

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.
