Materials Data on AlPb3OF9 by Materials Project

Abstract

AlPb3OF9 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Al3+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six F1- atoms. There are a spread of Al–F bond distances ranging from 1.77–1.91 Å. There are three inequivalent Pb+2.67+ sites. In the first Pb+2.67+ site, Pb+2.67+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O2- and six F1- atoms. There are one shorter (2.87 Å) and one longer (2.95 Å) Pb–O bond lengths. There are a spread of Pb–F bond distances ranging from 2.35–2.89 Å. In the second Pb+2.67+ site, Pb+2.67+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight F1- atoms. There are a spread of Pb–F bond distances ranging from 2.49–2.87 Å. In the third Pb+2.67+ site, Pb+2.67+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven F1- atoms. There are a spread of Pb–F bond distances ranging from 2.50–2.68 Å. O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent Pb+2.67+ and one O2- atom. The O–O bond length is 1.24 Å. There are nine inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Al3+ and one Pb+2.67+ atom. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Al3+ and two Pb+2.67+ atoms. In the third F1- site, F1- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Al3+ and two Pb+2.67+ atoms. In the fourth F1- site, F1- is bonded to four Pb+2.67+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing FPb4 tetrahedra. In the fifth F1- site, F1- is bonded to four Pb+2.67+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing FPb4 tetrahedra. In the sixth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Al3+ and two Pb+2.67+ atoms. In the seventh F1- site, F1- is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three Pb+2.67+ atoms. In the eighth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Al3+ and two Pb+2.67+ atoms. In the ninth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Al3+ and one Pb+2.67+ 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.
