Mo3Te2Se7Br10 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Mo+5.33+ sites. In the first Mo+5.33+ site, Mo+5.33+ is bonded to five Se2- and one Br1- atom to form distorted face-sharing MoSe5Br pentagonal pyramids. There are a spread of Mo–Se bond distances ranging from 2.48–2.65 Å. The Mo–Br bond length is 2.69 Å. In the second Mo+5.33+ site, Mo+5.33+ is bonded to five Se2- and two equivalent Br1- atoms to form distorted MoSe5Br2 pentagonal bipyramids that share an edgeedge with one MoSe5Br2 pentagonal bipyramid, a faceface with one MoSe5Br2 pentagonal bipyramid, and a faceface with one MoSe5Br pentagonal pyramid. There are a spread of Mo–Se bond distances ranging from 2.50–2.65 Å. There are one shorter (2.68 Å) and one longer (2.73 Å) Mo–Br bond lengths. In the third Mo+5.33+ site, Mo+5.33+ is bonded to five Se2- and two equivalent Br1- atoms to form distorted MoSe5Br2 pentagonal bipyramids that share an edgeedge with one MoSe5Br2 pentagonal bipyramid, a faceface with one MoSe5Br2 pentagonal bipyramid, and a faceface with one MoSe5Br pentagonal pyramid. There are a spread of Mo–Se bond distances ranging from 2.50–2.65 Å. There are one shorter (2.68 Å) and one longer (2.74 Å) Mo–Br bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Te4+ sites. In the first Te4+ site, Te4+ is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three Br1- atoms. There are a spread of Te–Br bond distances ranging from 2.53–2.88 Å.

In the sixth Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two Mo+5.33+, one Se2-, and one Br1- atom. The Se–Br bond length is 3.58 Å. In the seventh Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two Mo+5.33+ and one Se2- atom. There are ten inequivalent Br1- sites. In the first Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Te4+ atom. In the second Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to two equivalent Mo+5.33+ and one Se2- atom. In the third Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to two equivalent Mo+5.33+ and one Se2- atom. In the fourth Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to two equivalent Te4+ 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.
