Materials Data on Yb2In13Pd6 by Materials Project

Abstract

Yb2Pd6In13 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Yb is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four Pd and eleven In atoms. There are two shorter (3.31 Å) and two longer (3.35 Å) Yb–Pd bond lengths. There are a spread of Yb–In bond distances ranging from 3.26–3.52 Å. There are three inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine In atoms. There are a spread of Pd–In bond distances ranging from 2.71–3.05 Å. In the second Pd site, Pd is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Yb and seven In atoms. There are a spread of Pd–In bond distances ranging from 2.78–2.87 Å. In the third Pd site, Pd is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Yb and seven In atoms. There are a spread of Pd–In bond distances ranging from 2.76–2.85 Å. There are seven inequivalent In sites. In the first In site, In is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Yb, four Pd, and five In atoms. There are four shorter (3.24 Å) and one longer (3.29 Å) In–In bond lengths. In the second In site, In is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Yb, four Pd, and one In atom. In the third In site, In is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Yb and five Pd atoms. In the fourth In site, In is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Yb and three Pd atoms. In the fifth In site, In is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Yb and three Pd atoms. In the sixth In site, In is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Yb, three Pd, and two equivalent In atoms. In the seventh In site, In is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two equivalent Yb and two equivalent Pd 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.
