Materials Data on Sb3S2XeN(O2F9)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

XeSb3NS2(O2F9)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four XeSb3NS2(O2F9)2 clusters. Xe is bonded in a linear geometry to one N and one F atom. The Xe–N bond length is 2.13 Å. The Xe–F bond length is 2.44 Å. There are three inequivalent Sb sites. In the first Sb site, Sb is bonded to six F atoms to form corner-sharing SbF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 29°. There are a spread of Sb–F bond distances ranging from 1.88–2.10 Å. In the second Sb site, Sb is bonded to six F atoms to form corner-sharing SbF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 29°. There are a spread of Sb–F bond distances ranging from 1.88–2.15 Å. In the third Sb site, Sb is bonded to six F atoms to form corner-sharing SbF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 29°. There are a spread of Sb–F bond distances ranging from 1.88–2.04 Å. N is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Xe and two S atoms. There is one shorter (1.69 Å) and one longer (1.73 Å) N–S bond length. There are two inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S is bonded to one N, two O, and one F atom to form distorted corner-sharing SNO2F tetrahedra. Both S–O bond lengths are 1.42 Å. The S–F bond length is 1.58 Å. In the second S site, S is bonded to one N, two O, and one F atom to form corner-sharing SNO2F tetrahedra. There is one shorter (1.42 Å) and one longer (1.43 Å) S–O bond length. The S–F bond length is 1.57 Å. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one S atom. In the second O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one S atom. In the third O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one S atom. In the fourth O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one S atom. There are eighteen inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb atom. In the second F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb atom. In the third F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb atom. In the fourth F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb atom. In the fifth F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb atom. In the sixth F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb atom. In the seventh F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb atom. In the eighth F site, F is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two Sb atoms. In the ninth F site, F is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two Sb atoms. In the tenth F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb atom. In the eleventh F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb atom. In the twelfth F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one S atom. In the thirteenth F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one S atom. In the fourteenth F site, F is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Xe and one Sb atom. In the fifteenth F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb atom. In the sixteenth F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb atom. In the seventeenth F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb atom. In the eighteenth F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb 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.
