Materials Data on Na2TeH5SO10 by Materials Project

Abstract

Na2H5TeSO10 crystallizes in the monoclinic Cc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Na sites. In the first Na site, Na is bonded to six O atoms to form distorted NaO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent SO4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent TeO6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with one NaO6 pentagonal pyramid. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.34–2.49 Å. In the second Na site, Na is bonded to six O atoms to form distorted NaO6 pentagonal pyramids that share corners with two equivalent TeO6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent SO4 tetrahedra, an edgeedge with one NaO6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with one SO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 40°. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.37–2.62 Å. There are five inequivalent H sites. In the first H site, H is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two O atoms. There is one shorter (1.01 Å) and one longer (1.66 Å) H–O bond length. In the second H site, H is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O atom. The H–O bond length is 1.00 Å. In the third H site, H is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O atom. The H–O bond length is 1.00 Å. In the fourth H site, H is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two O atoms. There is one shorter (1.01 Å) and one longer (1.64 Å) H–O bond length. In the fifth H site, H is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O atom. The H–O bond length is 1.01 Å. Te is bonded to six O atoms to form TeO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent NaO6 pentagonal pyramids and edges with two equivalent NaO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Te–O bond distances ranging from 1.91–2.00 Å. S is bonded to four O atoms to form SO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent NaO6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent NaO6 pentagonal pyramids, and an edgeedge with one NaO6 pentagonal pyramid. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 52–64°. There are a spread of S–O bond distances ranging from 1.47–1.51 Å. There are ten inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Na, one H, and one Te atom. In the second O site, O is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Na, one H, and one Te atom. In the third O site, O is bonded in a distorted tetrahedral geometry to one Na, two H, and one S atom. In the fourth O site, O is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Na and one S atom. In the fifth O site, O is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Na, one H, and one Te atom. In the sixth O site, O is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Na, one H, and one Te atom. In the seventh O site, O is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two Na and one S atom. In the eighth O site, O is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Na, one H, and one Te atom. In the ninth O site, O is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two Na and one S atom. In the tenth O site, O is bonded in a water-like geometry to one Na and one Te 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.
