Materials Data on Mo5(O4F)3 by Materials Project

Abstract

Mo5(O4F)3 crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are five inequivalent Mo+5.40+ sites. In the first Mo+5.40+ site, Mo+5.40+ is bonded to five O2- and one F1- atom to form corner-sharing MoO5F octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 1–6°. There are a spread of Mo–O bond distances ranging from 1.80–2.07 Å. The Mo–F bond length is 2.20 Å. In the second Mo+5.40+ site, Mo+5.40+ is bonded to five O2- and one F1- atom to form corner-sharing MoO5F octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 1–6°. There are a spread of Mo–O bond distances ranging from 1.82–2.01 Å. The Mo–F bond length is 2.13 Å. In the third Mo+5.40+ site, Mo+5.40+ is bonded to five O2- and one F1- atom to form corner-sharing MoO5F octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 1–8°. There are a spread of Mo–O bond distances ranging from 1.80–2.08 Å. The Mo–F bond length is 2.19 Å. In the fourth Mo+5.40+ site, Mo+5.40+ is bonded to five O2- and one F1- atom to form distorted corner-sharing MoO5F octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 1–8°. There are a spread of Mo–O bond distances ranging from 1.80–2.09 Å. The Mo–F bond length is 2.23 Å. In the fifth Mo+5.40+ site, Mo+5.40+ is bonded to four O2- and two F1- atoms to form corner-sharing MoO4F2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 2–7°. There are a spread of Mo–O bond distances ranging from 1.85–2.00 Å. There are one shorter (2.04 Å) and one longer (2.06 Å) Mo–F bond lengths. There are twelve inequivalent O2- sites.

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.
